More than 60 percent of Japanese firms with over 1,000 employees use generative artificial intelligence, a survey has found, with overall adoption at 34.5 percent and many companies reporting efficiency gains while citing accuracy concerns.<\/p>\n
The survey conducted by a private research firm in March, which received valid responses from 10,312 businesses, showed 63.6 percent adoption at companies with over 1,000 employees versus 29.6 percent at those with five or fewer.<\/p>\n
Teikoku Databank Ltd said generative AI has spread to some extent in Japan but that it is \u201cstill in a transition period overall,\u201d more than three years after U.S. firm OpenAI released ChatGPT to the public in November 2022.<\/p>\n
Only 0.4 percent of companies said they ban the technology, although a certain number said they do not use it.<\/p>\n
Among adopters, 45.1 percent used it for \u201cwriting, summarizing and proofreading,\u201d the most common application. Other major uses included information gathering and brainstorming, suggesting many firms use the tools for support tasks.<\/p>\n
Nearly 90 percent of adopters said they had seen benefits such as improved efficiency. The survey indicated smaller companies saw greater benefits, likely because limited staffing created more situations in which AI could help.<\/p>\n
About 20 percent said gaps in \u201cability and performance\u201d widened between employees who can use AI well and those who cannot. Some also said younger workers \u201cno longer develop,\u201d as AI takes on basic tasks.<\/p>\n
Half of all respondents cited \u201cinformation accuracy\u201d as a concern or challenge, with Tsuyoshi Kubota, a chief researcher at Teikoku Databank, saying firms have entered a phase where results depend on building systems that enable effective use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Agencies More than 60 percent of Japanese firms with over 1,000 employees use generative artificial intelligence, a survey…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37402,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[175],"tags":[27702,27704,1695,217,215,2744,27705,214,17,216,27703,413,6892],"class_list":["post-37401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-27702","tag-adopt","tag-ai","tag-business","tag-business-of-japan","tag-firms","tag-generative","tag-japans-business","tag-japanese","tag-japanese-business","tag-large","tag-of","tag-over"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37401"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37401\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37402"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
