The paper identifies five structural issues that hindered digitalization, argues AI is the first viable solution if certain conditions are met, and makes three proposals to the government, including clarifying vague rules and shifting from common platforms to AI-connected systems.","whyItMatters":"Kurashitech, an operator that embeds itself in the field, warns that vertical AI in medical and nursing care will repeat the failures of earlier digitalization unless it confronts the specific structural issues the paper identifies, and offers concrete proposals for the national strategy.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eOn July 10, the government\u0026#39;s AI Strategy Headquarters, led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, designated medical care, nursing care, and drug discovery among 19 priority fields for vertical AI. Kurashitech, which operates vertical AI agents embedded in the field, published a position paper on July 16 that responds directly to that designation. The paper argues that earlier digitalization efforts failed not because of negligence but because of five structural issues: fields that cannot stop, high individuality, vague rules with strong feelings, externalities of collaboration, and an aging workforce. AI, the company says, is the first solution capable of addressing these issues, but only if it does not change the work of the field and is customized for each setting.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Kurashitech publishes a vertical AI position paper for medical and nursing care, arguing that AI must not change the workplace and offering three proposals to the government.
