For the first time, a member of the Japanese government has stated that they want to use the ChatGPT text generation tool. The goal would be to make the country’s regulatory texts, which are complex and opaque, more accessible. The OpenAI artificial intelligence model should help the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to make its documents more understandable.
Thousands of pages changed
Aware of the danger that the use of ChatGPT can represent, the minister warned that only publicly available information will be processed by artificial intelligence. “There is always the risk of classified information leaking out,” he acknowledged.
ChatGPT will allow the ministry to update the manuals that explain how to fill out applications for subsidies or public aid. Every year, thousands of pages are changed in Japan due to regulatory changes. This task will now be delegated to the OpenAI artificial intelligence.
The chatbot had previously made an intrusion into Japanese political life. As in France, a member of the opposition used the text generator to write questions for the Prime Minister of the country.
