Increased weight of training data related to Japan
Provision of analysis of government public data, etc.
Sharing know-how on learning methods and points to note using LLM (Large Scale Language Model)
Providing advanced functions such as image analysis for GPT-4
Consideration of a mechanism for domestic preservation of sensitive data
Strengthening the presence of OpenAI in Japan
Providing training and education to young researchers and students in Japan

At the end of March, AIPT published a white paper titled “Japan’s National Strategy in the New Era of AI.” Proposals are summarized for AI development infrastructure in Japan, AI utilization in government, AI utilization in the private sector, and AI regulations.
Regarding the development of Japan’s own AI model, the white paper states, “It is difficult to develop a unique platform model that is competitive in the short term using only domestic resources.” We should accelerate various applied research and development using the basic model in Japan, either as a foundation or in the form of partnerships.”
The meeting with the CEO of OpenAI is expected to follow this trend.
Growing Concerns about ChatGPT
On the other hand, there are growing concerns around the world about the protection of personal information against ChatGPT.
In Italy, the data protection authority temporarily banned the use of ChatGPT on March 31, citing suspicions of violating the EU’s (European Union) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). ChatGPT discovered that some customer information, including credit card numbers (last four digits) and addresses, had been leaked. An investigation has been launched.
Authorities have criticized the lack of legal basis for collecting and storing large amounts of personal data when AI learns algorithms. It also argues that advance information provision to users is insufficient.
Reuters reported that Germany, France and Ireland could follow suit.

Furthermore, ChatGPT is viewed as a problem by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which supervises and monitors fair trade.
In a document filed with the FTC, the Center for AI Digital Policy (CAIDP), a nonprofit research organization that addresses AI ethics, social impacts, and privacy issues, alleges ChatGPT is a risk to privacy and public safety. It calls for a freeze on future AI language model releases until they comply with FTC guidelines for transparency, fairness, and clarity.

The government will continue to work with relevant ministries and agencies to keep track of trends in AI, while conducting necessary considerations on how to handle confidential information and respond to concerns about information leaks.
