Addressing AI Implementation Challenges with AI Partners
In response to the growing need for AI integration in businesses, Agent Corporation, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has officially launched a new service called 'AI Partners.' This service is designed to support companies comprehensively in adopting artificial intelligence (AI) technology. With AI training programs, system implementation support, and tailored consulting, AI Partners aims to bridge the gap for enterprises facing obstacles in realizing their AI potential.
Background: The Rise of AI as a Business Imperative
On June 4, 2025, the Japanese government enacted the 'Law for the Promotion of Research and Development and Utilization of Artificial Intelligence Technologies,' often referred to as the AI New Law. This legislation emphasizes that businesses must endeavor to enhance operational efficiency and foster new industries through AI. Thus, leveraging AI has shifted from a technological endeavor to a central pillar in corporate strategic planning.
The Challenges: Gaps Between Expectations and Reality
Despite the growing enthusiasm surrounding AI, a study conducted by SHIFT AI in July 2025 revealed that over 60% of employees in Japan have not yet been able to integrate generative AI into their work. Prominent barriers include security concerns and the lack of internal regulations and structures for implementation.
Furthermore, while many businesses are keen to capitalize on AI capabilities, there remains a significant absence of systematic know-how and best practices necessary for pushing AI initiatives forward. For companies that have already adopted AI, personal usage often poses risks such as information leaks, highlighting the urgent need for secure and strategic deployment frameworks.
The Solution: Key Features of AI Partners
1. Comprehensive Support from Concept to Implementation
AI Partners excels in delivering extensive support tailored to individual company needs. This approach goes beyond mere training; it encompasses consulting services and continuous involvement from planning through to implementation and operation, ensuring a seamless transition into AI utilization. Collaborating closely with its engineering teams, AI Partners aims to significantly advance businesses' AI transformations (AX).
2. Structured Training Programs for AI Proficiency
According to SHIFT AI’s research, the most sought-after training elements include understanding the fundamental concepts of generative AI (37.6%), methods of utilization (36.0%), and application case studies (32.0%). To meet these demands, AI Partners offers an adaptable training curriculum that companies can mix and match:
- - Foundation Course: Basics of AI structure, prompt design, and risk management.
- - Utilization Course: Differentiating and leveraging major generative AIs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot.
- - Practical Application Course: Role-specific utilization scenarios for sales, back-office, and customer support.
- - Strategy and Management Course: AI’s role in corporate strategy, governance design, and facilitation support.
Moreover, custom courses can be developed to address specific client challenges.
3. Support for Developing Internal Frameworks and Rules for AI
Leveraging its extensive support experience, AI Partners will assist businesses in crafting robust internal frameworks and rules to safely and effectively integrate generative AI. This includes defining 'who, how much, and how to use' AI, thus mitigating risks such as data breaches or misuse. Sample support services include:
- - Assistance in creating internal policies for assessing AI utilization, use scope, and data handling.
- - Designing risk assessments and contingencies to preempt issues like information leaks.
- - Structure of roles and education systems to promote company-wide AI utilization.
Future Developments
In addition to the structured and practical training offerings, AI Partners aims to expand its curriculum to include industry and role-specific applications, along with support programs for upper management in strategic AI integration. Further details regarding the structure and content of upcoming training programs will be released progressively.
