NEWOLD CAPITAL Completes PoC for Secure AI System

NEWOLD CAPITAL Inc., which provides M&A advisory services to mid-tier and small-sized enterprises and supports their growth strategies, has successfully completed a PoC (proof of concept) for “NEWOLD AI,” an AI system that can be used in a secure environment exclusively within the company.

The business succession issues facing Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises are becoming more serious, and according to calculations by the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency, the “2025 problem” is fast approaching, in which 1.27 million companies will be left without a successor by 2025. If this problem is left unattended, it is estimated that approximately 6.5 million jobs and 22 trillion yen of GDP could be lost, making swift and appropriate support for business succession an urgent social imperative.

In this context, we believe that in order to provide more clients with swift support in M&A work, which is one of the most effective methods for business succession , it is essential to actively utilize AI to improve the productivity and quality of advisors.

On the other hand, since M&A business handles confidential information of client companies, strengthening information security is a top priority. Currently, there are many companies in Japan that are engaged in M&A business, and we assume that many of these companies are using AI, but we believe that there are concerns about the security environment that comes with the use of AI.

To solve this problem, we have been working on a PoC (proof of concept) for “NEWOLD AI,” which allows for the secure use of AI within our company.

Specifically, the company aims to promote business efficiency through the use of AI while protecting confidential information, thereby speeding up the M&A consideration and execution process.

In addition, we have formulated and released the “NEWOLD AI Guidelines” to foster a common understanding among employees regarding the use of AI .

The guidelines stipulate rules and ethics for using AI, as well as points to note when handling confidential and personal information. Furthermore, by clarifying the attitude and use cases for proactively promoting the use of AI, the guidelines aim to create an environment in which employees can use AI safely and securely.
