Hitachi Develops Technology to Automatically Create Effective Advice to Increase Worker Happiness Using Artificial Intelligence
Hitachi, Ltd. today announced the development of technology using artificial intelligence that automatically creates effective advice for raising the happiness of workers based on the behavioral data of each individual on a daily basis and the commencement of an internal trial with 600 participants from sales & marketing. More precisely, a name tag type wearable sensor collects the massive amount of individual behavioral data which is then analyzed using Hitachi AI Technology/H, and used to create and deliver personalized advice on actions automatically, such as on communication in the workplace or time allocation that will contribute to raising individual happiness. This advice is delivered daily, and individual workers can check the daily advice on their smartphone or tablet, and choose to apply the advice in their daily activity.
Hitachi will integrate the results from this trial into the solution which it will provide to corporate and other organizations globally, to support increased productivity through a more active organization resulting from the increased happiness of workers.
