With tenures at some of the most respected tech companies in the world, panelists Jarel Hawkins (IA & AI Executive / CxO Advisor), Floyd Newsum III (Managing Director a ..read more

I recently had the opportunity to attend Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. MWC is a truly massive gathering, attracting over 100,000 attendees and 2,500 exhibitors from around the world. As such, it’s a great place to check out the collective mood of the industry and the most promising and enticing areas of focus.  This was my second year attending this event—and I must say, this year was far more energizing and uplifting than my first experience. The first year, practically everyone was focused on challenges and problems: shrinking revenues, continual customer churn, heighte ..read more

There’s a growing consensus about the need for businesses to embrace AI.

The quality of customer experience is how firms differentiate themselves and win in a crowded and competitive market. For those not prior ..read more

Business leaders are done treating generative AI like a gimmick. They want to use the latest large language models (LLMs) to drive transformative change, concrete results, and new operating models that disrupt their market and grow their bottom lines. They’re ready for AI at work...that really works. At the UiPath AI Summit, we showed how automation is the catalyst for AI success.

AI 搭載の オートメーションの力でヒトの持つ可能性を拡げることを目指す UiPathでは、”Women in Automation”と題して自動化に携わる女性たちの活躍を推進しています。 昨年11月、UiPath コミュニティの年次カンファレンス UiPath Friends Festival 2023 のなかで、「オートメーション業界でさらに躍進しよう！国内外で活躍する女性から学ぶキャリアの在り方 」として、自動化に携わる女性たちによるパネルディスカッションを国内で初開催しました。 マッキンゼー・アンド・カンパニーのグローバル・インスティチュートの報告書(2015) （英語）によると、就労率、就労時間、業務内容など労働におけるジェンダー平等が実現される場合、世界のGDP（国内総生産）が10年間で26 %、金額にして3,360兆円アップすると報告されています。 これを受け、本パネルのモデレーター、UiPath 株式会社 執行役員 人事本部長 村上絵里子は、人的資本経営での人材の価値を最大限に引き出す例として、「女性の活躍 x オートメーション」を挙げました。女性の労働力をはじめ、世界中で埋もれている活用しきれていない人材一人ひとりの力が発揮され、そこに自動化を活用できれば、もっと経済を活性化できるのでは、と語ります。 そこで、「女性の活躍 x ..read more
