Genetec's Pioneering Initiatives in Generative AI

Introduction

Genetec Inc., headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and led by President Kenji Ueno, has been at the forefront of leveraging generative AI since its introduction. With significant advancements planned for the fiscal year 2024, including the launch of an automated meeting minutes tool and a ChatBot aimed at enhancing internal operations, the company is set to revolutionize its workflow processes.

Current Applications of Generative AI

In an effort to expand the internal use of AI, Genetec has seen a steady growth in its generative AI user base. Here are some of the key initiatives undertaken:

• - ### Establishing Generative AI Use Guidelines

Ahead of full-scale AI deployment, Genetec formulated comprehensive guidelines to address information security, software quality, and compliance standards.

• - ### Building a Secure Generative AI Execution Environment

To encourage the use of AI with company data, Genetec developed a secure execution environment, isolated from external networks. Tools like AI meeting minutes and ChatBot systems were created here, leading to a wealth of knowledge and expertise in utilizing various generative AI tools, including GitHub Copilot and Cursor.

• - ### Learning Implementation Technologies for Edge AI

The company has been busy validating customized lightweight language models (SLM) on resource-constrained CPU boards, paving the way for non-cloud-dependent local AI applications.

• - ### Strengthening MLOps Infrastructure for Model Training

Genetec has established a robust infrastructure to effectively manage the entire lifecycle of generative AI—from development and training to deployment and retraining, thus ensuring consistent and stable AI operations.

Future Plans

Building on its accumulated knowledge of generative AI, Genetec will work on providing agent-based AI solutions. This innovative AI model understands the purpose of prompts, autonomously makes decisions, and continually optimizes processes. The integration of these solutions will facilitate AI assistance and automation in tasks traditionally performed by humans. Here are some of the planned initiatives:

• - ### Implementing Agent-Based AI in Manufacturing Solutions

The company will leverage agent-based AI in its manufacturing solutions, aiming to streamline and enhance business processes.

• - ### Applying Edge AI in Embedded Software

Genetec is engaging in real-time analysis of camera images for machinery control in construction, and is exploring multi-functional deployments of vehicle and edge AI that combine image recognition with SLM. The goal is to efficiently deploy container applications and AI models across various target environments using orchestration technologies.

• - ### Fostering AI Talent Development

The company plans to strengthen its internal education in AI while actively participating in external technical events, such as hackathons, to foster technical capabilities and enhance external collaboration.

• - ### Integrating AI Technology with In-House Service 'Kokodayo'

Genetec will merge its patented notification system for biological information changes with AI technology, aiming to enhance safety for the community.

To expedite AI development, Genetec continues to upgrade its environment by introducing AI processors such as NVIDIA AGX and DGX, utilizing cloud resources, and integrating various development tools.

Conclusion

As Genetec moves forward, it remains dedicated to delivering innovative solutions through the practical application of generative and agent-based AI technologies. By continuing its strategic initiatives, the company aims to provide new value to its customers and society at large.
