Panasonic Develops AI Replica of Founder Kōnosuke Matsushita

The AI, trained on thousands of recordings and writings, aims to preserve Matsushita's management philosophy and assist in business decisions.

Panasonic collaborated with the University of Tokyo to create an AI version of its founder, Kōnosuke Matsushita, who passed away in 1989.
The AI was trained on over 3,000 recordings, along with Matsushita's writings, lectures, and interviews, to replicate his thinking and speaking style.
Panasonic's Peace and Happiness through Prosperity Institute spearheaded the project to preserve and share Matsushita's renowned management principles.
The AI is intended to function as a consultant, offering guidance on management decisions based on Matsushita's philosophies.
Matsushita, revered as Japan's 'God of Management,' transformed Panasonic from a small lamp business into a global electronics leader and authored over 40 influential books.
