Generative AI / How digital technology will change the way we do business
ADVICS is actively working to promote DX (digital transformation) using AI. AI is a program that learns data patterns and relationships, judges and recognizes information like a human, and proposes new content. We see this technology as the key to accelerating business efficiency and organizational growth, and are promoting practical initiatives rooted in the field, centered on Business Process Innovation Dept. and Technology Management Department.
Revolutionize your business with ChatGPT exclusively for ADVICS
In 2023, we launched the Generative AI CoE (Center of Excellence) with the aim of promoting correct understanding of generative AI within the company and establishing guidelines. About 30 colleagues who spoke up to promote the use of generative AI gathered across departments to share know-how and investigate technological trends. In September 2024, we developed the highly secure "ADVICS exclusive ChatGPT*" based on OpenAI technology and introduced it within the company. ChatGPT is an AI chatbot that answers questions, provides information, and assists with tasks through natural dialogue. Currently, we are using it in the following areas of business, for example:
- Application Creation
- 4. Data Analysis
- Man-hour management
- New proposals and ideas
- Document summary and translation
- Minute taking
* Internal ChatGPT using Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service
Promoting company-wide digital transformation through ChatGPT's in-house training
In order to promote the use of ChatGPT in our business, we are preparing educational materials and disseminating information through our in-house portal and online in-house newsletter. In addition, when we held an online study session, we received such a large response that we had to quickly expand the session to two days due to the overwhelming number of people who wanted to participate. The study session introduced the mechanism of generative AI, how it is used in the world, and specific examples of its use within the company. Many questions were raised by the participants, and we were unable to answer them all within the time limit. Participants said things like, "My perspective on work has changed," and "I can't go back to life without ChatGPT," and it was an opportunity to realize the growing understanding and interest in generative AI.
Inheriting veteran knowledge through ChatGPT ~Cost planning initiative led by the former president~
ADVICS is taking on experimental and advanced challenges to pass on the knowledge of experienced employees to the next generation. One of these is the "Cost Planning Roundtable" led by former president and current EA (Executive Advisor) Tetsuya Otake. In this roundtable, members involved in cost planning share their experiences and challenges, and develop discussions based on Otake's extensive knowledge. The contents of the conversations are collected as text data and summarized and organized by ChatGPT, with the aim of accumulating and sharing valuable knowledge within the company as explicit knowledge. Through these challenging efforts, ADVICS is working to further strengthen its competitiveness.
Creating the future, ADVICS' challenge continues
In fact, we also used ChatGPT to write this article. By combining the human perspective with the power of AI, we have created content that is easier to understand and read. ADVICS will continue to promote business reform using AI and cutting-edge technology, aiming to create an organization where people and technology resonate with each other.
