Hiroki Kamobayashi, Representative Director and CEO of Arent Inc., has been featured in an interview with The Worldfolio, an international business media outlet.

The conversation turns on a pressing question for Japan’s construction and plant engineering industries: as the sector faces labour shortages and the challenge of passing on hard-won expertise, what role should AI play in shaping its future?

Kamobayashi points to the deep on-site capability and technical craftsmanship that Japanese manufacturing has built over decades as one of the country’s enduring strengths. The task now, he suggests, is not whether to adopt AI, but how to use it well. He goes on to explore how AI can help capture the tacit knowledge of experienced professionals—the instinct and judgement that rarely make it onto paper—and carry it forward to the next generation.
