Client interview: Harima Chemicals, Inc.

We wanted to end the moment someone says, "We've done that before." Harima Chemicals and Elith worked together on an initiative to connect nearly 80 years of accumulated technical knowledge to the next generation of research. A young researcher works out the experimental conditions and shows them to a veteran colleague. Sometimes, the veteran responds with words like these: "We've done this before." Past reports and experimental data remain within the company. Even so, if they can't be found when needed, that knowledge never carries over to the next round of research. What Harima Chemicals's Research Planning Department faced was this state of information that exists but can't be put to use. Elith worked alongside them for about three months, supporting design and technical decisions. Two members of the Research Planning Department led the development themselves, aiming to build a system they could create and adjust on their own as neede

Using AI with peace of mind — how C Certification and GENFLUX Security support corporate AI governance

Corporate AI use has already moved past the stage of debating whether to use it at all. AI features are built into more than just generative AI like ChatGPT and Claude — they're now embedded in the SaaS products and work tools people use every day, and the number of moments when employees use AI without even realizing it keeps growing. At the same time, not many companies have a real grasp of which AI is being used, by whom, and how, within their own organization. As convenience takes the lead, there are cases where awareness of risks such as information leaks, misuse, and accountability hasn't caught up. Amid this situation, C Certification is one entry point for building an AI governance system. So why has Elith positioned support for obtaining C Certification as a business, and what possibilities does it see the

So that C Certification isn't just "get it and move on" — what Elith is looking toward

Obtaining C Certification requires taking stock of AI usage, organizing risks, developing rules, and reviewing internal structures. Even after certification, reviewing AI usage and improving operations continues. That is exactly why this is an area where, if you try to go it alone, it's easy to get lost on questions like "where do we start," "how far do we need to go," and "how do we operate after certification." Elith can provide end-to-end support, from building AI governance before obtaining C Certification, to improving operations afterward, and even implementing AI security using GENFLUX Security.

How to build corporate trust in the age of AI — why C Certification is needed now

General-purpose AI like ChatGPT and Claude is one thing, but AI capabilities are now quietly built into the SaaS products and everyday work tools people already use — that's the reality of business in 2026. And it's no longer limited to specialists: it's now common for non-engineers to build their own work tools and automation flows using GitHub Copilot or generative AI. As this convenience grows, new challenges are emerging for companies. It's becoming harder to see the full picture of AI use — not just the AI a company formally adopts, but also the AI employees use on their own judgment, AI features added later to existing tools, and automation flows that have naturally taken hold in day-to-day work.

Elith Inc. launches a series of practical generative AI courses for businesses and local governments

Elith Inc. is pleased to announce the release of three new practical courses to support businesses and local governments in embedding the use of generative AI into their operations: "Introduction to generative AI operating patterns for frontline work," "Introduction to AI governance and regulation for local governments," and "AI business creation and hypothesis validation course for new business staff." Rather than simply teaching how to use generative AI tools, this series is a practice-oriented program that focuses on how to safely incorporate AI into actual operations and keep it running continuously. In recent years, as the use of generative AI has rapidly advanced, businesses and local governments have faced challenges such as: not knowing how to apply it to frontline work; getting stuck at the PoC stage without adoption taking hold; concerns about information leaks and governance; and unclear rules and division of responsibility for AI use.
