[Seminar] Latest Trends in the Chinese Automotive Industry: The Front and the Back

**Seminar Overview** "Generative AI" is gaining attention as a method for improving business efficiency and utilizing internal digital transformation (DX). However, its effectiveness can be influenced by the literacy of the employees using it, which may, in turn, increase the burden of work. In this seminar, we will discuss the current challenges of generative AI while providing examples of how it can be used to enhance business efficiency. We will also explain how to utilize generative AI in a way that achieves efficiency without being affected by the user's skills. We hope this will serve as a reference for considering the use of generative AI.
