この変革は経済的観点から見ても、緊急性があり、必然性があります。Gallup社の「2024 State of the Global Workplace Report」によると、従業員エンゲージメントの低下によって、世界経済では生産性の損失として毎年、8兆8,000億米ドル分のコストが発生しています1。これは世界のGDPの約9%に相当します。米国企業だけでも、不要な会議、プロセスの重複、コミュニケーション不全など職場のインシビリティ(他者に対する配慮や思いやりの欠如)により、1日に約21億米ドル、年間で7,660億米ドル強の損失が出ているのです2。非効率な会議や冗長な承認プロセス、情報のサイロ化など社内の摩擦により生じるコストは従業員1人当たり平均で年間1万5,000米ドルに上ります。データのサイロ化だけを見ても、業務の非効率化を招き、組織の収益を20%~30%も押し下げています3。
Coinbase社の「State of Crypto」レポート(2024年第2四半期)とPlug and Play Tech Center社によるFortune 500 企業のAIガバナンスに関する調査データを活用し、フォーチュン500企業におけるAIを活用した自動化、スマートコントラクトのガバナンス、エコシステム連携戦略の導入事例を分析し、変革パターンとビジネス成果に関するインサイトを導出しました。
EY Americas Responsible AI LeaderのSinclair Schullerは、これを「アルゴリズムの速度で行うガバナンス」の課題として説明しています。「私たちは、戦略的意思決定における人間の説明責任を確保しながら、自動的に機能する高度なフレームワークを通じて他のAIを監視できるAIシステムを必要としています。問われているのは機械が意思決定を下せるかどうかではなく、最も重要な意思決定に対して、人間の主体性をどのように維持するかです」
Power Ledger社のブロックチェーンプラットフォームは、エネルギーセクターにおけるこの可能性を示しています。このシステムは、スマートコントラクトを通じて、ピアツーピアのエネルギー取引を可能にしています。買い手と売り手を自動的にマッチングし、支払いを処理し、再生可能エネルギーの配分を最適化します。プラットフォームの参加者は、エネルギーコストを15%~25%削減しながら、再生可能エネルギーの利用を40%増やしています。従来の電力会社による調整システムでは、到底実現できなかった成果です14。
