AI-focused business seminars in Tokyo and Los Angeles explore workplace changes

Entrepreneur Yuka Iwasaki and MMBH CEO Ranmaru Kishi visited Tokyo on July 21 for a joint event with YOUTRUST, discussing how AI reshapes work habits. They emphasized that while AI can handle many tasks, business professionals must focus on output quality and thoughtful decision‑making. Iwasaki noted that most scouting work is now performed by AI and encourages team members to continually reflect on their personal goals. Kishi highlighted that AI enables small Japanese firms to compete internationally, but stresses the need for narrative and passion in education projects.

On July 18, the Taiwanese‑American Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles hosted a Mid‑Year Leadership Forum on “AI’s new wave: technology, law, and accounting.” Approximately 70 participants heard experts explain AI’s impact on tax audits, legal risk, and practical workflow improvements. The forum aimed to help Southern California businesses leverage AI tools for efficiency and competitive advantage.
