Do you feel pressured by investors or consumers to see AI really more than you really?
“Certainly on the investor's front. As much as you can get more than the investors' pitch, you have to say, 'How do everyone think about AI here, and our unique turning point is here.'

You can now manually (inventory), or if you do it digitally or with anything, they don't really care.

We are actually explaining a lot about what is AI to our customers, so from the customer's point of view I don't. From an investor's point of view, it may be used in some other parts of the business, for example, marketing more with AI tools. But no, it's not pressure. “

Do you feel pressured by investors or consumers to see AI really more than you really?
“I certainly feel that if you talk a lot about AI, it is easy to raise funds. Here is a certain amount of use to use you. If I said very loudly here, I will probably look at me. Basically we try to sell the basic principles of our business. What do people really want? Loose
What does a human being give to your company that provides your company that does not do AI?
“I don't think you can get any person-company or AI's own code of conduct. I think it requires some human surveillance. AI is clearly a terrific device. But eventually it still needs to be a human, 'this is a device that is not able to do so today,” and today. B (b (b ( Legend

I don't see that AI is not able to duplicate. “
