[0009] The present invention will be described below through embodiments, but the following embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention according to the claims. In addition, not all of the combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the solution of the invention.

[0010] A process flow of the information providing device according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a diagram for explaining an overview of the information providing device according to the embodiment. Fig. 1 shows a configuration of an information providing system 1 including an information providing device 10 according to the embodiment.

[0011] As shown in Fig. 1, the information provision system 1 includes an information provision device 10 and a management information database 20. The management information database 20 is a database that stores various data related to management. For example, the management information database 20 stores information that affects management, such as the number of employees of each company, business performance, financial statement information, stock prices, business models, and the presence or absence of competing companies. Examples of information that affects management include world affairs, demographics, and weather.

[0012] The information providing device 10 is a device to which various devices, including a management information database 20, are plugged in. In the information providing system 1, in which the various devices include various servers, vehicles, smartphones, and other devices, the information providing device 10 realizes the highest level of artificial intelligence by being plugged in to each device.

[0013] For example, in the information provision system 1, semiconductor chips manufactured by the same manufacturer are incorporated into the information provision device 10 and each device including the management information database 20. Each of these semiconductor chips may perform machine learning or deep learning by itself.

[0014] In addition, the semiconductor chips used in the information providing device 10 and the management information database 20 are chips of a size suitable for each housing. For example, assuming that the chip size of the information providing device 10 is XL size, L size is used for servers and vehicles, and S or M size is used for user terminals. For terminals with housing sizes even smaller than the user terminals, SS size is used and is put into a SoC (System on a chip) to form a single chip. Note that the number of tiles for each size is 200 tiles for the XL size, 50 tiles for the L size, 20 tiles for the M size, 10 tiles for the S size, and 2 tiles for the SS size, but this is an example and is not limited to the above. If it is desired to attach accessories such as a camera or a microphone to the user terminal, a chip dedicated to accessories other than the semiconductor chip may be set in an empty space near the semiconductor chip in the SoC.

[0015] In this way, in the information providing system 1, the use of semiconductor chips made by the same manufacturer in various devices connected to the information providing device 10 makes it possible to keep the information providing system 1 secure. In other words, in the information providing system 1, hacking, virus infection, and deep fakes can be avoided with a high degree of accuracy, and privacy between the information providing device 10 and data source providers including the management information database 20 can be ensured.

[0016] In this embodiment, the information providing device 10 learns a model based on a data source acquired from the management information database 20. The model is a language model. As a language model, for example, ChatGPT by OpenAI Inc. is known (Reference: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt). The language model may be a language model such as GAN (Generative Adversarial Networks) or VAE (Variational Autoencoder) that uses a neural network.

[0017] In this embodiment, the language model generates a text response to a text of a query (hereinafter, a prompt) input by a user. The language model is trained in advance using a data source. The language model may be trained by known machine learning techniques.

[0018] This enables the language model to generate answers based on the data source. In this embodiment, the information providing device 10 plugs in to the management information database 20 (step S1), and learns the language model based on the data stored in the management information database 20 (step S2).

[0019] In this way, the information providing device 10 trains the language model on various data stored in the management information database 20. As a result, the language model generates a response to an input prompt based on the learned data related to management. In other words, the information providing device 10 can generate a language model specialized in the management field.

[0020] In this embodiment, a language model specialized in the management field is used to provide advice on the management policy of a company. Specifically, in this embodiment, accounts (roles) of "CEOs A to C," "Experts A to C," and "Judge System" are set in advance by system prompts.

[0021] "CEOs A to C" are accounts corresponding to CEOs (Chief Executive Officers) of companies. In this embodiment, CEOs A to C each hold discussions from the perspective of a CEO of a company. For example, CEOs A to C may be modeled on the current CEO or previous CEO, or on well-known people who have made achievements in other companies. CEO A holds discussions in further subdivided accounts such as CEOs A-1, A-2, and A-3, and CEO B holds discussions in further subdivided accounts such as CEOs B-1, B-2, and B-3, and they reach a conclusion on management policy as CEO A and CEO B.

[0022] "Experts A to C" are accounts that correspond to each department of a company. For example, the expert accounts are modeled after experts in the fields of marketing, engineering, design, sales, distribution, and production.

[0023] The "Judge System" is an account that judges the results of discussions by each account. For example, the judge system judges the merits of each account's arguments and proposes management policies.

[0024] In this embodiment, the assertions made by each of the multiple CEO accounts are input as prompts into the language model, and the system prompts are set so that the other CEO accounts can debate the input prompts.

[0025] This setting allows each CEO account to hold a spontaneous discussion using the language model. As shown in Fig. 1, the information providing device 10 uses the language model to hold a discussion on the company's management policy by each account (step S3). For example, the discussion is started by inputting the company's growth strategy, issues, etc. as a prompt.

[0026] To explain in more detail, CEO accounts A to C are accounts with different management policies and philosophies, such as conservative, aggressive, data-oriented, etc., and each account holds discussions using a language model.

[0027] For example, CEO accounts A, B, and C debate billions of times per second based on various information about the company. This makes it possible to verify and solve problems from every angle, and instantly propose highly accurate management policies based on past management policies.

[0028] Similarly, multiple accounts are set up for experts A to C in each field, each with a different personality and philosophy, and the experts in each field hold discussions using language models.

[0029] For example, in this embodiment, a discussion is held among multiple accounts for each field, and a conclusion is drawn from the perspective of each field. Then, the CEO accounts A to C hold a discussion on the company's management policy based on the discussions in each field. Note that the final discussion by the CEO accounts may be held by all accounts including each account.

[0030] Thereafter, the "judging system" makes a judgment based on the content of the discussion (step S4). The "judging system" is made up of multiple accounts. The multiple accounts that make up the judging system discuss the content of the discussions of the CEO account and other accounts, and judge the final medical policy. For example, when a specified termination condition is met, such as when the discussion reaches a deadlock, the judging system compares the arguments of each account with the data stored in the management information database 20 to determine the most appropriate management policy.

[0031] The "judgment system" then proposes the decided management policy to the actual CEO. In other words, the information provision system 1 can hold a simulated discussion on management policies by using a language model. In addition, because the language model is trained in advance with a huge amount of data on corporate management, it can propose management policies based on various past knowledge.

[0032] In this manner, the information providing device 10 according to the embodiment generates a language model based on various pieces of knowledge registered in the management information database 20, and after holding a discussion using the language model, makes a proposal regarding a management policy.

[0033] Therefore, the information providing device 10 according to the embodiment can effectively utilize a language model specialized for a specific field.

[0034] The configuration of the information providing device 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the information providing device according to the embodiment.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 2, the information providing device 10 includes a communication unit 11, a storage unit 12, and a control unit 13.

[0036] The communication unit 11 transmits and receives information to and from the management information database 20 and the like via the network.

[0037] The storage unit 12 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a random access memory (RAM) or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), an optical disk, etc. The storage unit 12 stores various programs and various data. The storage unit 12 stores language model information 121.

[0038] The language model information 121 is information about a language model. For example, the language model information 121 is information about parameters for constructing a language model. Such parameters are, for example, weights and biases of a neural network.

[0039] The control unit 13 is a controller, and includes, for example, a microcomputer having a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM, an input / output port, and various other circuits. The control unit 13 may also be configured with hardware such as an integrated circuit, for example, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The control unit 13 includes an acquisition unit 31, a generation unit 32, a discussion unit 33, and a proposal unit 34.

[0040] The acquiring unit 31 acquires data from a data source provider. For example, the acquiring unit 31 acquires data related to medical cases from the management information database 20 (see FIG. 1). For example, the acquiring unit 31 acquires data every time the management information database 20 is updated.

[0041] The generation unit 32 generates a language model. Specifically, the generation unit 32 learns the language model based on a data source related to a medical case. The generation unit 32 also updates the parameters of the model through learning. The generation unit 32 may regenerate the model at each learning timing, or may reflect a data source difference from the previous learning in the model.

[0042] The discussion unit 33 is a language model generated by learning data stored in a database related to medical cases, and uses the language model to generate answers to input prompts, to hold discussions between multiple CEO accounts, each with different claims.

[0043] First, the discussion unit 33 sets accounts for each field according to system prompts of the language model. For example, the discussion unit 33 sets a CEO account, Experts A to C accounts, and a judge system account.

[0044] After setting these accounts, the discussion unit 33 starts a discussion using the language model. For example, the discussion unit 33 holds a discussion for each field, and then holds a discussion using the CEO account based on the discussion results for each field. Specifically, the discussion unit 33 holds a discussion using the language model by the following steps 1 to 5.

[0045] Step 1: Set up a multi-functional virtual expert There are hundreds of sets of virtual experts in various fields related to corporate management. For example, specific characters such as "CEO A," "CEO B," and "CEO C" are set for the CEOs, and "Marketing Expert A," "Marketing Expert B," and "Marketing Expert C" are set for the marketing department.

[0046] Step 2: Speed ​​up information exchange These experts exchange information based on company data and debate billions of times per second, enabling them to instantly make decisions about the company's status, future management policies, and business strategies.

[0047] Step 3: Handling data The virtual experts hold discussions while sharing various types of information, such as company performance and stock prices, allowing them to quickly reach optimal solutions from multiple perspectives.

[0048] Step 4: Self-study and update If new knowledge or information is discovered during the discussion, it is immediately reflected in the database and can be used in future discussions, allowing the company to provide policies based on the most up-to-date knowledge.

[0049] Step 5: Building consensus Discussion is the process of forming a final "consensus" through the clash of different opinions and viewpoints. This allows information and knowledge from multiple sources to be comprehensively incorporated when proposing corporate policy. Proposals for corporate policy may include multiple proposals.

[0050] The suggestion unit 34 judges the discussion results by the discussion unit 33 using a judge account set in the language model, and proposes a treatment plan. For example, the suggestion unit 34 makes a judgment when a predetermined end condition is met, such as when the discussion by the discussion unit 33 reaches a deadlock.

[0051] For example, the proposal unit 34 refers to various data registered in the management information database 20, judges which management policy is estimated to be the most appropriate among the management policies discussed by each CEO account, and proposes that management policy.

[0052] Next, a process procedure executed by the information providing device 10 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 are flowcharts showing a process procedure executed by the information providing device 10 according to the embodiment.

[0053] First, the procedure for generating a language model will be described with reference to Fig. 3. As shown in Fig. 3, the information providing device 10 first acquires data on legal cases from the management information database 20 (step S101). Next, the information providing device 10 generates a language model based on the data acquired from the management information database 20 (step S102), and ends the process.

[0054] Next, the discussion process using the language model will be described with reference to Fig. 4. As shown in Fig. 4, the information providing device 10 first holds a discussion on the management policy in each field (step S111). Then, the information providing device 10 holds a discussion on the management policy between fields (step S112).

[0055] Next, the information providing device 10 judges the results of the discussion (step S113), and then the information providing device 10 proposes a management policy (step S114), and ends the process.

[0056] According to this embodiment, a language model trained on the basis of data stored in the management information database 20 can be used to discuss management policies and then propose the management policies, thereby making it possible to effectively utilize language models specialized for specific fields.

[0057] 5 is a diagram showing an example of a computer hardware configuration functioning as an information providing device. A program installed in the computer 1200 can cause the computer 1200 to function as one or more "parts" of the device according to the present embodiment, or cause the computer 1200 to execute operations or one or more "parts" associated with the device according to the present embodiment, and / or cause the computer 1200 to execute a process or steps of the process according to the present embodiment. Such a program can be executed by the CPU 1212 to cause the computer 1200 to execute specific operations associated with some or all of the blocks of the flowcharts and block diagrams described herein.

[0058] The computer 1200 according to this embodiment includes a CPU 1212, a RAM 1214, and a graphic controller 1216, which are connected to each other by a host controller 1210. The computer 1200 also includes input / output units such as a communication interface 1222, a storage device 1224, a DVD drive, and an IC card drive, which are connected to the host controller 1210 via an input / output controller 1220. The DVD drive may be a DVD-ROM drive, a DVD-RAM drive, etc. The storage device 1224 may be a hard disk drive, a solid state drive, etc. The computer 1200 also includes input / output units such as a ROM 1230 and a keyboard, which are connected to the input / output controller 1220 via an input / output chip 1240.

[0059] The CPU 1212 operates according to a program stored in the ROM 1230 and the RAM 1214, thereby controlling each unit. The graphic controller 1216 acquires image data generated by the CPU 1212 into a frame buffer or the like provided in the RAM 1214 or into itself, and causes the image data to be displayed on the display device 1218.

[0060] The communication interface 1222 communicates with other electronic devices via a network. The storage device 1224 stores programs and data used by the CPU 1212 in the computer 1200. The DVD drive reads programs or data from a DVD-ROM or the like and provides them to the storage device 1224. The IC card drive reads programs and data from an IC card and / or writes programs and data to an IC card.

[0061] The ROM 1230 stores therein a boot program or the like that is executed by the computer 1200 upon activation, and / or a program that depends on the hardware of the computer 1200. The input / output chip 1240 may also connect various input / output units to the input / output controller 1220 via a USB port, a parallel port, a serial port, a keyboard port, a mouse port, and the like.

[0062] The programs are provided by a computer-readable storage medium such as a DVD-ROM or an IC card. The programs are read from the computer-readable storage medium, installed in the storage device 1224, the RAM 1214, or the ROM 1230, which are also examples of computer-readable storage media, and executed by the CPU 1212. Information processing described in these programs is read by the computer 1200, and brings about cooperation between the programs and the various types of hardware resources described above. An apparatus or method may be constructed by implementing operations or processing of information according to the use of the computer 1200.

[0063] For example, when communication is performed between the computer 1200 and an external device, the CPU 1212 may execute a communication program loaded in the RAM 1214 and instruct the communication interface 1222 to perform communication processing based on the processing described in the communication program. Under the control of the CPU 1212, the communication interface 1222 reads transmission data stored in a transmission buffer area provided in the RAM 1214, the storage device 1224, a DVD-ROM, or a recording medium such as an IC card, and transmits the read transmission data to the network, or writes reception data received from the network to a reception buffer area or the like provided on the recording medium.

[0064] Furthermore, the CPU 1212 may cause all or a necessary portion of a file or database stored in an external recording medium such as the storage device 1224, a DVD drive (DVD-ROM), an IC card, etc. to be read into the RAM 1214, and perform various types of processing on the data on the RAM 1214. The CPU 1212 may then write back the processed data to the external recording medium.

[0065] Various types of information, such as various types of programs, data, tables, and databases, may be stored in the recording medium and undergo information processing. The CPU 1212 may perform various types of processing on the data read from the RAM 1214, including various types of operations, information processing, conditional judgment, conditional branching, unconditional branching, information search / replacement, etc., as described throughout this disclosure and specified by the instruction sequence of the program, and write back the results to the RAM 1214. The CPU 1212 may also search for information in a file, database, etc. in the recording medium. For example, when a plurality of entries each having an attribute value of a first attribute associated with an attribute value of a second attribute are stored in the recording medium, the CPU 1212 may search for an entry whose attribute value of the first attribute matches a specified condition from among the plurality of entries, read the attribute value of the second attribute stored in the entry, and thereby obtain the attribute value of the second attribute associated with the first attribute that satisfies a predetermined condition.

[0066] The above-mentioned programs or software modules may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium on the computer 1200 or in the vicinity of the computer 1200. In addition, a recording medium such as a hard disk or a RAM provided in a server system connected to a dedicated communication network or the Internet can be used as a computer-readable storage medium, thereby providing the programs to the computer 1200 via the network.

[0067] The blocks in the flowcharts and block diagrams in the present embodiment may represent stages of a process in which an operation is performed or "parts" of an apparatus responsible for performing the operation. Particular stages and "parts" may be implemented by dedicated circuitry, programmable circuitry provided with computer readable instructions stored on a computer readable storage medium, and / or a processor provided with computer readable instructions stored on a computer readable storage medium. The dedicated circuitry may include digital and / or analog hardware circuits, and may include integrated circuits (ICs) and / or discrete circuits. The programmable circuitry may include reconfigurable hardware circuits, such as, for example, field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), programmable logic arrays (PLAs), and the like, including AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR, and other logical operations, flip-flops, registers, and memory elements.
