Over 80% of Companies Feel the Shortage of DX Talent Amid AI Utilization

Acknowledging the Talent Gap in AI Utilization

In a new white paper by ALCHE, a Tokyo-based firm specializing in AI training and consulting, the current state of generative AI use among Japanese companies has been examined in depth. Despite an impressive rise in the utilization rate of generative AI, which has reached 56%, only 10% of these organizations have successfully linked this technology to tangible outcomes and transformative changes. One prominent issue identified is the significant shortage of digital transformation (DX) talent, with 85.1% of surveyed companies recognizing this limitation as a critical barrier to their AI initiatives.

This white paper, titled "What is Happening to Human Resources in the Generative AI Era? MANAGEMENT INSIGHT 2025 REPORT", is a critical resource for organizations looking to enhance their AI capabilities and overcome these challenges. It offers insights and strategies to elevate the overall AI competence within companies.
