"We hope to build something big for Japanese society, fixing the model for Japanese language and culture," Altman told reporters after meeting with Kishida. His visit to Japan is his first international trip since the launch of ChatGPT.
As reported by Reuters, Taro Kono, Cabinet Minister in charge of Japan's digital transformation, expressed hope that AI technology will "greatly contribute" to government work reform. However, he said that it was difficult to quickly adopt ChatGPT in government offices because of problems such as machine-generated fake information.
Kono hopes the April 29-30 G7 Digital Ministers meeting in Japan will discuss AI technologies including ChatGPT and issue "a joint message from the G7". Japan will continue to evaluate the possibility of adopting AI to reduce the workload of government employees after evaluating how to respond to issues such as data breaches.
