The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Following the selection for the GENIAC project, which aims to strengthen Japan's domestic generative AI development capabilities and promote social implementation, ABEJA will use data accumulated by IDOM, including repair records and inspection standards, to address labor shortages, reliance on individual expertise, and productivity declines resulting from increasingly advanced technical requirements in automobile maintenance.
