【DBJ Research No.445】Social Implementation of Physical AI: Industrial Structure and Policy for Delivering Technology to the Field

The competitive focus in the generative AI market is gradually shifting from the scale of general-purpose models to the implementation of domain-specific AI. This report analyzes the shortage of systems integrator("SIer") functions that connect AI vendors with user companies as a structural challenge hindering the social implementation of physical AI in Japan. As a potential solution, it explores the possibility of joint ventures between AI vendors and user companies. The report also proposes the development of demand-side support measures, including subsidies for proof-of-concept initiatives and tax incentives.
