On-site participation / Live streaming / Archive streaming (available for viewing multiple times over two weeks) AI agents that leverage LLM knowledge and take on specific expertise or roles are being utilized in various scenarios and gaining attention. However, a single AI agent may lack the necessary expertise and flexibility, leading to limitations in the tasks it can handle. At NTT, we are advancing research and development on multi-AI agent collaborative control, where multiple AI agents with various roles and expertise work in coordination with humans to achieve high-quality task execution and idea generation. In this presentation, we will introduce the integrated collaborative control mechanism that oversees the AI agent team while reflecting human intentions, as well as promising AI voice dialogue technology as a means of communication between humans and AI agents.

[Instructor] Mr. Toshio Kimura, Senior Consultant, Japan Management Association Consulting, Inc. [Purpose of the Event] Currently, R&D (Research and Development) in Japanese companies is at a turning point. Even in advanced R&D companies, a decline in the ratio of R&D expenses to sales is being observed. In other words, it can be succinctly stated that there is a shift towards "quality over quantity." The era of steadily increasing R&D investment is over. This means that R&D (functions and organizations) are now required to significantly enhance their value and the management results they produce compared to the past. In this seminar, we will provide a detailed explanation of the formulation and practical implementation of R&D strategies, which can be seen as a "compass" for innovating R&D (functions and organizations), including the following key points: 1. Enhancing the value and effectiveness of business and technology strategies. 2. Dramatic improvement in R&D productivity. 3. Innovation of "R&D vitality (capability + activation)," which serves as a promoting or inhibiting factor for strategies.
