AR Advanced Technology, Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Toshinori Takeuchi; hereinafter “ARI”) will hold a free webinar on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, titled “Why AI Adoption Does Not Progress and How to Establish It in the Workplace: Challenges and Approaches Revealed by Diagnostic Results.” Many companies promoting AI face challenges such as “AI has been introduced, but is not used in the workplace” and “PoCs have progressed, but production deployment is not happening.” At the AI Expo held in April 2026, ARI conducted a diagnostic survey of 295 people responsible for AI initiatives to understand the current status and challenges of AI adoption. The results showed that approximately 60% of respondents, or 59%, had already begun using AI but had not yet achieved results. This figure exceeded the share of companies that had “not yet started full-scale initiatives.” Based on the diagnostic data, this webinar will organize the factors preventing AI adoption from progressing and share practical approaches taken by companies that have overcome these barriers.
