Generative artificial intelligence has been gaining traction around the world. The latest country to embrace it is Japan. According to The Japan Times, private-sector businesses in the country have begun embracing related information technologies to enhance operational efficiency. GenAI search services, in particular, are proving useful for searching corporate databases.

The news states how Lion, a leading Japanese consumer goods company, has built a generative AI-powered search system that allows its researchers to search through research reports and conference materials stored in the company’s database efficiently.
“To drive innovation, we need a system that allows researchers to have quick access to technical knowledge when they need it”.
– Shintaro Yamaoka, manager of the digital strategy department
Yamaoka revealed that the time required to locate a desired document has been reduced to an average of one-fifth of that with conventional search systems. The company further states that GenAI is proving beneficial not only for recruits and young employees but also for those transitioning to new workplaces, allowing them to “systematically acquire knowledge in unfamiliar fields”. Even though GenAI comes with its fair share of challenges such as hallucinations and copyright concerns, it also stands to benefit the corporate world in the long run.
In other news, one popular AI chatbot is seemingly facing a technical glitch and preventing it from saying one name in particular: David Mayer. If there is one name in the AI realm that everyone knows about, it’s ChatGPT. The artificial intelligence chatbot has been trained on large amounts of data to create content, including voices, music, pictures, and videos. However, it was recently unearthed by a Reddit user that the AI chatbot is unable to say David Mayer.
According to AI expert Justine Moore, a plausible scenario is that someone named David Mayer went out of his way to remove his presence from the internet. For example, strict privacy laws in the European Union allow citizens to file “right to be forgotten” requests.

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD)
Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 74
CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) is a leader in cloud-delivered endpoint and cloud workload protection products. On December 2nd, Morgan Stanley raised the firm’s price target on CrowdStrike to $390 from $355 and kept an “Overweight” rating on the shares. The firm views less upside in the broader cybersecurity landscape, citing platformization headwinds and valuations above historical average levels. The company’s Falcon platform exemplifies “platformization” by integrating multiple security functions into a single, cloud-native, AI-driven solution. Regardless of such headwinds, the firm remains confident in companies such as Crowdstrike over the longer term.
Overall, CRWD ranks 3rd on our list of AI news investors shouldn’t miss. While we acknowledge the potential of CRWD as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame.
