We have one of the largest numbers of AI researchers in the world and provide business AI solutions to major domestic companies. Cinnamon AI has teamed up with D4V (Design for Ventures), a venture capital focused on early stages, and IDEO, a globally expanding design firm, to incorporate AI models and data science using a human-centered approach into corporate strategy. We have jointly developed a workshop for

Cinnamon AI's mission is to "create a world full of creativity, together with AI," and while providing consulting and services related to AI development and implementation with many major domestic companies, we have helped make Japanese industry "AI-ready" (* ), we have believed that it is important to make a multifaceted and wide-ranging contribution to the powerful promotion of these goals. We are promoting this activity by jointly developing and providing a workshop with D4V and design firm IDEO to incorporate AI models and data science using a human-centered approach into corporate strategy. I'm coming.

IDEO is a design firm known for its human-centered, cross-disciplinary approach. He is a leader who was one of the first to put design thinking into practice, and his mission is to create a positive impact on the world through design. To achieve this, we strive to utilize creative mindsets and skills, and to share this approach with as many people as possible. Additionally, IDEO is promoting the use of human-centered AI and data science through an activity called Design for Augmented Intelligence (D4AI).

As the objectives of both companies coincide, we have decided to jointly develop a new program that fuses design thinking and AI development perspectives and establishes strategic design that effectively integrates AI models. At Cinnamon AI, our executive officer and futurist Hotta will publish a book titled "Double Harvest" on the theme of strategic design in the AI era in spring 2021 (scheduled). “Double Harvest” is mainly composed of “Harvest Loop”, our unique AI development framework, but in this IDEOx Cinnamon AI workshop, we will introduce “AI and data science using a human-centered approach”. We propose the realization of Japan's first AI strategy design that combines "problem solving" and "harvest loop".

This workshop is a program that uses lectures and case studies to experience ``AI and data science problem solving using a human-centered approach'' and ``Harvest Loop.'' Through a approximately 3-hour workshop (which can be tailored to suit the needs of each company), the aim is for participants to learn the "mind" and "process" of human-centered AI strategy design. After providing a beta version, general sales will begin in December 2020. If you are interested, please contact Cinnamon AI.
