Lecture Title: "Latest AI Trends and Implementation Strategies for the New Fiscal Year: An Introduction Strategy to Maximize Results"

As the CEO of Digirise, which has a track record of supporting companies in their AI utilization with over 500 implementations, I shared my insights gained from the field. I explained the latest AI trends directly related to the new fiscal year strategy for 2026, and focused on the "structural transformation of SaaS business models" triggered by Anthropic's "Claude," "Cowork," and "Claude Code."
