Private generative AI environment for employees
Yokogawa opened its private generative AI environment to all 17,000 employees in September 2024
Problem
Yokogawa wanted employees to use generative AI while maintaining security. Company-wide access required an internal environment.
Approach
After proof-of-concept work in 2023, Yokogawa created its own generative AI environment. It made access available to all employees in September 2024 and described company-wide deployment at its December briefing.
Results
Takeaway
The disclosed figure measured access to the environment. It did not establish active use or a realized productivity improvement.
