  34. Will AI take my job?

    View Slide

  35. Barriers to AI implementa/on
    AI does not take jobs, but people teach AI to do jobs
    The judges really told me in 2018.
    Multiple trips were made to Aomori and
    Fukuoka to explain the design concept.
    Face-to-face contact is important.

    View Slide

  36. Barriers to AI implementa/on
    What if the AI makes a bad decision?
    There was strong concern from service
    and sales personnel.
    ・Set accuracy targets for release
    decisions.
    ・Set up a flow for error determination.

    View Slide

  37. Barriers to AI implementa/on
    Many ads still need to be manually reviewed to make a decision
    Examples of easily
    determinable offending ads
    Drinking only diet Apply and remove stains
    It is difficult to replace AI with ad
    screening, which is difficult even for a
    human to judge.

  38. People and AI work together
    It is important to develop an environment where correct data can be gathered
