米マイクロソフト(MS)で大規模障害が起きた13日、メールや人工知能(AI)機能が使えなくなった全国の自治体や医療機関は、注意喚起などの対応に追われた。「長引くと困る」「仕事にならない」。職員らからは不安や困惑の声が聞かれた。

熊本市は、7月の熊本地震からの復興に向け、公費解体を請け負う業者とやりとりしていたメールが一切できなくなった。電話で対応しているが、市の担当者は「復旧がいつになるか不明だ。長引くと業務に支障が出てくるかもしれない」と懸念を示した。

大阪市は市民からのメールでの問い合わせが確認できなくなり、急ぎの場合は電話で問い合わせるようホームページで呼び掛けた。民事裁判がデジタル化された裁判所にも影響は及び、東京地裁では訴訟期日の一部をウェブ会議から電話会議に変更した。

東京都港区の診療所「芝浦スリーワンクリニック」は、X(旧ツイッター)への投稿で「『メールによる予約』ができなくなっています。予約は電話でお願いします」と呼び掛けた。薬の発注にもメールを使っているため、注文できない状態が続いているという。事務職の60代男性は「影響が長引くと困る」と不安を漏らした。

「非効率で大変だった」。MS社のAI「コパイロット」でオンライン会議の議事録を作成しているという都内のコンサルティング会社勤務の20代女性は、この日は手入力で議事録を作成することに。「AIに頼って仕事をしていると改めて思った」とこぼした。

出張で東京に来ていた福島県の40代男性会社員は「電話では書面が確認できず、具体的なやりとりができない。たまたま出張で来ていなければ仕事にならなかった」とため息をついた。

China loses its role as leader of semiconductor deregulation; dark clouds over Asian procurement network

With the resignation of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, China has lost an influential figurehead who had been lobbying the US Trump administration to ease export restrictions to China. Chinese media has reported extensively on this, and there are concerns that it will be a blowback to AI development. Mr. Huang has advocated continued sales to China, arguing that withdrawing from the Chinese market would accelerate the country's domestic production of semiconductors and undermine America's technological superiority. Meanwhile, there have been reports of allegations of an affair with Chinese businessman Alice Huang and suspicions of semiconductor smuggling by a Singaporean company, and the Chinese government denies the suspicions of espionage. The procurement routes that Chinese companies have expanded to Southeast Asia are now subject to increased scrutiny, and while the dwindling supply of advanced products from the United States is a tailwind for Chinese manufacturers, switching to alternative products is costly and time consuming.

[ITmedia Business Online] The “cautious” Yayoi will collaborate with general-purpose AI tools. Freee and Manefo will follow in “MCP compatibility,” and what are the “accounting x AI” strategies of each company?

Starting from December, Yayoi's cloud accounting software "Accounting Next" will be compatible with the common standard "MCP" that connects generated AI and external software. Although it is the third company after freee and Money Forward, it has a policy of carefully determining its distance from AI, such as allowing AI to register journal entries but not registering business partners.
