There are indications that momentum for DX initiatives among Japanese companies has rapidly waned, and that topics related to AI, rather than DX, have recently become the main focus. The situation and its future direction warrant close attention.
Japanese companies were once said to have embraced a strong drive toward DX (digital transformation), but there are indications that this momentum has rapidly waned in recent years. The article views the declining discussion around DX as a problem and seeks to examine the reasons behind it.
This change raises the possibility that discussions and initiatives to promote DX within companies have lost momentum. It may be time for readers to reassess the current state of DX and reconsider the significance of digital transformation.
At the same time, topics related to generative AI and the use of AI have been widely covered in other articles in the series, indicating that discussions of digital technology centered on AI have become the main focus. Attention will turn to the relationship between AI and DX and to future trends in investment policy.
