The forefront of generative AI adoption in small and medium-sized enterprises and development companies
Our guest will be Mr. Yonezawa of Firecracker Inc., an IT consulting firm based in Sapporo. Focused on helping small and medium-sized businesses improve their operational efficiency, he will explain the background behind the company's shift from introducing SaaS at its founding to promoting the use of generative AI today. In addition to automating meeting minutes and support tasks, he will discuss the "promotion of AI for system development companies" as a major theme. While productivity can be increased by 3-10 times depending on the field, the barriers to widespread adoption are "learning how to use it" and "entering the organization." Drawing an analogy from the transition from calculators to Excel, he will delve into the importance of prompt design and final validation (tasting), the value of ethics and the humanities, the future brought about by the combination of local areas and AI, and prospects for the live event business.
