「The emergence, rapid development and widespread adoption of generative AI are beginning to affect many industries and occupations, and our business is no exception. A range of future risks may arise, including a fundamental transformation of our business model, the emergence of competitors from unexpected industries and the loss of competitive advantages. To turn these risks into business opportunities, the Group is actively promoting the use of generative AI within the Group and advancing initiatives such as DX for project management.」
The approach to social change and new technologies has been reframed from the use of conventional technologies such as AI and IoT to responding to business-model changes driven by generative AI and turning these changes into opportunities through internal use across the Group and project-management DX. - FY2024-Q1ReframedAnnual report
