The first city in Japan to apply ChatGPT in administrative activities

Tokyo [Japan], June 7: The Japanese city of Yokosuka has officially applied ChatGPT to administrative activities since June 5, after a month of testing showed that this artificial intelligence (AI) tool helps improve work efficiency.
Yokosuka City, in Kanagawa Prefecture south of Tokyo, has become the first local government in Japan to test experimental ChatGPT , a Generative AI application driven by an active machine learning model. like the human brain.
During testing, city officials used ChatGPT to create newsletters, summarize meeting content, and correct typographical errors in documents, among other purposes, the company reports. believe in Kyodo.
The city government estimates that if ChatGPT continues to use, the working time can be reduced by at least 10 minutes per day.

There are concerns about confidential information being leaked as a result of using ChatGPT. The Yokosuka government said it does not allow city officials to enter personal information when using the app.
Last week, Japan's privacy watchdog issued an administrative directive to OpenAI , the US company behind ChatGPT, asking the company not to collect sensitive personal information, such as medical records or criminal record, without the consent of the individual.
The Japanese government's Committee for the Protection of Personal Information also warned administrative agencies about the risk of privacy invasion stemming from entering personal information into chatbots.
