According to Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno, Japan may adopt OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot if privacy and cybersecurity issues are handled.
“Looking at creating an office,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated before meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. Matsuno talked.
“We aim to… generate something amazing for Japanese people, make the models better for Japanese language and culture,” Altman told reporters after meeting Kishida.
Matsuno told a regular news conference that Japan knows about Italy’s ChatGPT restriction.
After data breaches, Matsuno proposed using AI to minimize government workers’ workloads.
OpenAI advised the Italian regulator last week after Italy’s ChatGPT restriction pushed other European governments to examine privacy breach mitigation.
San Francisco startup “Our approach to AI safety” explored “nuanced restrictions barring activity that signals a substantial risk to people” last week.
Altman and Kishida addressed “the upsides of this technology and how to manage the downsides” on Monday in Tokyo.
