Editions of the day: Morning News (Morning 03:10)
The adoption question has moved from whether to introduce AI to how to recover the investment and who is responsible. Judgment runs in four steps. First, define your own return metrics. Second, fix the scope of delegation and the approver for agents. Third, set your own safety criteria. Fourth, decide whether training happens before or during employment. Together these feed the management decision.

Latest news on co-creation between AI and humans

Overview

- The management issue has shifted from ``should we introduce AI?'' to ``how will we recover the investment for introduction and who will be responsible?'' NVIDIA, Salesforce, and cio.com put ROI (return on investment) front and center. - On the other hand, conflicts among managers over AI safety are occurring in parallel with moves toward regulation, self-regulation, and litigation. - In terms of human resources, there is a lot of talk about AI training and skill indicators. There was no headline about production control by humanoids.

Corporate management decision-making

- NVIDIA: Officially announced that "AI Factories (large-scale computing facilities dedicated to AI processing) will maximize investment returns." The actual measured value is unclear from the headline. - Salesforce: Announced Multiplayer AI, which shows "from a stage where individuals become smarter to a stage where the entire company becomes smarter." Another presentation discussed how to transform cost centers (departments that do not generate revenue) into profit-generating departments using AI. All of these are claims made by the company, and actual results cannot be verified from the headlines. - OpenAI: Sam Altman announced an "always-on" AI agent. At the same time, it was reported that the company had shelved a model due to safety concerns (Newsday). The relationship between commercialization and safety decisions is an example of management decisions. - Airbnb: CEO Brian Chesky talks about AI agents on CNBC (video, headline only).

How the company organization should be

No applicable information

Changes in employee roles

No applicable information. However, there is a related headline (hcamag.com) stating that efforts to improve AI skills have begun in Hong Kong as clerical roles are changing.

Required competencies

- Kazakhstan was reported to be ranked 55th in the "AI-Human Skills Synergy Index" (Qazinform). A framework for comparing capabilities by country is emerging. - McGill University has launched AI literacy (the basic ability to understand and use AI) education, and Ace App has launched new evaluation standards (rubrics) to measure children's thinking and learning. - Coursera has posted AI learning methods for accounting and finance. AI skills by job type are in demand for learning. - The above are movements on the education and learning side. There are no headlines indicating changes to companies' hiring requirements or personnel evaluations.

Employee education/human resources development

- Implemented/started: - Fulton County in Georgia has launched free AI training for residents. - Diembassy has started an AI introduction internship for working adults. - Hong Kong has launched an initiative to improve AI skills. - University: Florida Atlantic University (FAU) aims to combine AI and human coaching to make students work-ready from day one. - Concern: “Will AI take jobs away from young people in Asia?” was asked in The Manila Times. He has a strong interest in how young people are raised. - The president of Kazakhstan said that AI opens wide opportunities for young people.

Organizational construction

No applicable information. In a related headline, BlackFog has added protection and governance features for prompts (instructions to the AI) for agent-based AI. This is a movement on the product side that deals with authority and control.

Division of roles between AI agents and employees

- The above BlackFog product shows that there is a demand for controlling the instructions and behavior of agents (product announcement; implementation track record unknown). - cio.com reported on areas where AI agents are delivering real cost savings in IT departments. The specific areas and numbers are unclear from the headline. - There are no headings indicating the design of the scope of delegation or examples of accidents and audits.

Production management using humanoids

No applicable information

ROI concept

- Vendor claims: NVIDIA and Salesforce are focusing on profitability and collection (at the claims stage as mentioned above). - Actual reduction examples: cio.com highlighted reductions in the IT field. - Exposure: It was reported that the degree of susceptibility (exposure) to the influence of AI in the construction industry is relatively low for many occupations (Eye On Housing). This is a perspective that measures the difference between occupations that are likely to be effective and those that are not. - Penetration rate: AI adoption in Türkiye is reported to have exceeded 50% (Daily Sabah). It is a penetration rate, not an indicator of results. - Reports of failed demonstrations are not in the headline.

Balance of investment in human resources and humanoids

No applicable information. Although the heading of investment in people (training) appears in Section 6, it does not indicate the allocation to investment in machinery.

Labor Administration/Worker Protection (Regulatory Authority Perspective)

- Japanese court case: In a voice actor's AI lawsuit, the court recognized voice as a right to be protected, but rejected the lawsuit (The Japan Times). This is a case where the existence of a right and the availability of a remedy are different. - European commentary: Voxeurop discussed job insecurity under the title "AI-pocalypse" (commentary; content is headline only). - International: The United States and Russia have removed human supervision provisions from an international AI weapons agreement, the Washington Post reported. - U.S. self-regulation: President Trump called the pledge to self-regulate AI “morally binding” after a lunch with tech executives (Le Monde). Please note that this is a voluntary pledge, not a legal obligation. - We cannot confirm the headline that labor authorities have imposed new obligations.

Movements in each country

- China: CyberScoop reported that a phishing operation believed to be of Chinese origin targeted people involved in AI policy. In Hong Kong, efforts to improve AI skills have begun. - India, Israel, Australia: No applicable information. - South Korea: Publishing industry sets AI rules to counter 'one-click publishing' books (The Korea Times). - United States: President Trump said he does not want to "integrate" with China on AI. A map of AI exposure by job type has been released (Visual Capitalist). There is also free training available in Fulton County. - Europe: Headlines are Voxeurop commentary only. - Others: Kazakhstan ranks 55th in the index, and Turkey is reported to have over 50% adoption.

Remarks from VIPs

- Jensen Huang (NVIDIA CEO): Reportedly confronted Dario Amodei about AI safety warnings (Yahoo). There is also a headline (TradingView, details unknown) that says it made big predictions for U.S. employment. - Dario Amodei (Anthropic CEO): The company was criticized for the wrong way to warn about AI risks. Yann LeCun called him "paranoid" and "doesn't understand cybersecurity" (Fortune), and Meta's former CTO similarly criticized him (Yahoo Finance). Both are statements made by the critic. - Sam Altman (OpenAI CEO): Announced always-on AI agent. - Satya Nadella, Elon Musk, Aneesh Raman: Not applicable.

Integrated analysis: How is it effective for management decisions

Set your own investment return metrics: The announcements from NVIDIA and Salesforce indicate that the adopters have entered a phase where they are concerned about return. On the other hand, the only headline that shows actual measurements is in the IT area of cio.com, and overall the claims are ahead of the others. It is necessary to use the degree of exposure of each job type (Eye On Housing, Visual Capitalist) to make judgments about choosing investments based on operations that will be effective. 2. Determine agent authority and control first: Altman's always-on agent and BlackFog's control product came out in the same week. Operating the system without determining the scope of delegation and the person who approves it can be considered to be highly risky. However, incidents of accidents and audits are not in the headlines this week. 3. Have standards for determining safety: Judging safety has become a management issue due to OpenAI's shelving of its model and the exchange of criticism between managers. Self-regulation in the United States is weakly binding, so companies need to set their own standards. 4. Designing investments in people: There are many headlines about training, but there are also concerns about changes in administrative work and the impact on young people. It is necessary to decide whether to handle training before employment (FAU) or during employment (Hong Kong, Fulton County) in conjunction with the recruitment plan. 5. Unidentified Areas: Organizational structure, role changes, and humanoid investment allocation are not indicative of this week's headlines.

Future points of interest

Will there be any actual operational examples (introduction results, accidents, audits) of the scope of delegation and control of AI agents? 2. Will the self-regulatory pledge be legally binding or have a supervisory authority? This includes the handling of the human supervision clause in the AI Weapons Agreement. 3. Will there be any examples of companies changing their hiring/evaluation criteria? This week I was biased towards the education/indicators side.
