"Japan will consider
government adoption of artificial intelligence technology such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot if privacy and cybersecurity concerns are resolved," Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said on Monday.
The remarks from Matsuno, the top government spokesperson, came shortly before Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI, met Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida during a visit to Japan, where Altman said his company is “looking at opening an office.”
"Japan will continue evaluating possibilities of
introducing AI to reduce government workers’ workload after assessing how to respond to concerns such as data breaches," Matsuno said.
The talks between Kishida and Altman came as many countries have been stepping up regulations on the use of ChatGPT over suspicions that
OpenAI illegally gathers vast amounts of personal data from its users.
