This move puts Yahoo Japan in line with other tech giants pushing AI adoption in daily workflows. The goal is to boost productivity by automating routine work.
More details haven’t been shared yet, but usage of generative AI is now a clear expectation across the company’s workforce.
No word on which specific AI tools will be deployed or how employees are reacting.
This update came quietly but signals growing AI dependency in Japan’s tech space.
