According to Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno, Japan will explore adopting artificial intelligence technology such as OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot if privacy and cybersecurity issues are fixed.
The top government spokesperson Matsuno made his comments just before OpenAI CEO Sam Altman met with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida while visiting Japan. Altman revealed that his company is "looking at opening an office" while in Japan.
“We hope to ... build something great for Japanese people, make the models better for Japanese language and Japanese culture,” Altman told reporters following his meeting with Kishida.
When questioned about Italy's brief ban on the Microsoft-backed OpenAI product ChatGPT, Matsuno stated at a routine press conference that Japan is aware of other nations' actions.
After determining how to address issues like data breaches, Japan will keep considering the introduction of AI to lessen the workload of government workers, Matsuno said.
Following Italy's restriction of ChatGPT, which encouraged other European nations to research such measures, OpenAI this week submitted solutions to the Italian regulator to address privacy breach concerns.
The San Francisco-based company stated last week in a blog post titled "Our approach to AI safety" that it was attempting to create "nuanced policies against behavior that represents a genuine risk to people."
At the meeting on Monday in Tokyo, OpenAI CEO Altman claimed he discussed "the advantages of this technology and how to mitigate the disadvantages" with Japan's Kishida.
