As generative AI adoption accelerates globally, many Japanese companies remain stuck in the early stages due to structural issues rather than technical limitations. This article explores why Japan's traditional design philosophies and evaluation systems hinder progress and argues that CIOs must evolve from being mere technology managers into value designers who handle ethical and organizational judgments.
