Daiwa Securities Group Inc. employees are widely using an artificial intelligence-powered chatbot in Japan, as the nation’s second-largest brokerage follows global banks in exploring the potential of rapidly evolving technologies.
Chief Executive Officer Seiji Nakata said the Tokyo-based firm started an experiment in April that gave around 9,000 workers in Japan the go-ahead to “freely use” ChatGPT. Daiwa has also been strengthening the recruitment of science graduates to develop high-tech experts in house, he said in an interview.
