Generative AI can also suggest that the employee participate in a new project so that the employee can gain specific experience. Furthermore, Generative AI can suggest a team leader role so that the employee can improve their leadership skills. In this way, by suggesting internal transfers and project participation that correspond to the employee's career goals, it is possible to support career development and increase satisfaction and productivity.
[0074] Generative AI can estimate employee emotions and conduct emotion-based performance evaluations. For example, if an employee is highly motivated, generative AI can provide positive feedback. Also, if an employee is feeling stressed, generative AI can suggest support to reduce stress. Furthermore, if an employee is feeling anxious, generative AI can provide feedback to reassure them. In this way, performance evaluations based on employee emotions can maintain employee motivation and improve satisfaction and productivity.
[0075] Generative AI can match internal mentors and mentees based on employees' career goals. For example, Generative AI can select the most suitable mentor based on an employee's skill set and career goals. Generative AI can also optimize mentor-mentee relationships based on an employee's past project experience. Furthermore, Generative AI can adjust the mentor-mentee match based on employee feedback. This makes it possible to match mentors and mentees according to employees' career goals, thereby increasing the effectiveness of career support and improving satisfaction and productivity.
[0076] Generative AI can estimate employees' emotions and provide stress management programs based on their emotions. For example, if an employee feels high stress, generative AI can suggest yoga or meditation programs for relaxation. If an employee feels anxious, generative AI can also suggest counseling sessions. Furthermore, if an employee feels fatigued, generative AI can suggest activities for rest. In this way, providing stress management programs based on employees' emotions can improve employee health and satisfaction.
[0077] Generative AI can optimally allocate internal resources based on employees' career goals. For example, generative AI can assemble optimal project teams based on employees' skill sets and career goals. Generative AI can also optimize resource allocation based on employees' past performance data. Furthermore, generative AI can adjust resource allocation based on employee feedback. In this way, allocating resources according to employees' career goals can increase the success rate of projects and improve satisfaction and productivity.
[0078] Generative AI can estimate an employee's emotions and suggest a career path review based on their emotions. For example, if an employee is losing motivation, generative AI can suggest a new career path. Also, if an employee feels a sense of accomplishment, generative AI can suggest further challenges. Furthermore, if an employee is feeling stressed, generative AI can suggest a career path to reduce stress. In this way, by suggesting a career path review based on an employee's emotions, it is possible to improve employee satisfaction and productivity.
[0079] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0080] Step 1: Generative AI analyzes the employee's needs. For example, Generative AI analyzes the employee's past performance data, skill set, career goals, and other input information to generate an individually customized mentoring plan. Generative AI can also analyze the employee's feedback data and adjust the mentoring plan as needed. Step 2: The career support department provides personalized career support based on the needs analyzed by the generative AI. For example, the career support department offers training programs for skill development, career path suggestions, and action plans for goal achievement. The career support department can also provide regular feedback and evaluations to improve employee satisfaction. Step 3: The subscription manager manages the program on a subscription basis. For example, the subscription manager allows companies to use the program for only as long as they need it, minimizing the costs of employee career support. The subscription manager can also automatically manage subscriptions and renewals.

The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI. The AI other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.
[0129] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.
[0130] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0131] FIG. 9 illustrates an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[0132] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.
[0133] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[0134] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0135] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0136] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of user input and emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.
[0137] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers including computer 22.
[0138] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.
[0139] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[0140] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.
[0141] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following processors: A CPU is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A dedicated electrical circuit, such as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a programmable logic device (PLD), or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), is a processor with a circuit configuration specifically designed to execute a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and uses the memory to execute the specific process.
[0142] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.
[0143] As an example of a system configured with a single processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.
[0144] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
[0145] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.
