An Innovative Approach to New Year Greetings with AI

As the world rapidly adapts to digital transformation, the Japan Management Institute aims to usher in the New Year in style while prioritizing eco-friendliness. For 2026, the institute's chairman, Tomonori Tomura, has employed AI technologies extensively to create unique New Year greetings that not only celebrate the season but also reflect a deep commitment to environmental sustainability.

In recent years, sending traditional New Year cards has raised concerns regarding the environmental impact due to excessive paper use and carbon emissions associated with deliveries. The Japan Management Institute recognizes these issues and seeks to revolutionize the way New Year messages are sent. Instead of the conventional method, they utilize an AI agent to craft virtual greetings, thereby reducing the ecological footprint significantly.

The centerpiece of this initiative involves a visually stunning e-card, designed exclusively by the AI agent under Tomura’s creative direction. This card encapsulates the essence of the New Year and conveys heartfelt wishes while keeping the environmental impact minimal.
