Japanese authorities want to use ChatGPT to fight bureaucracy

The Japanese authorities decided to try to use ChatGPT to get rid of red tape, writes Bloomberg. Authorities want to use artificial intelligence to explain government regulations and make them easier to understand.

The first of the Japanese agencies to begin testing ChatGPT was the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. According to Minister Tetsuro Nomura, the ministry "is not doing anything serious" and the chat will only handle publicly available information. He also noted that there is always a risk of leaks of sensitive data.

It is reported that the ministry will begin using ChatGPT during April. With the help of artificial intelligence, the department will update the guidelines for applications for subsidies and other state support.

It is noted that the ministry annually makes thousands of pages of corrections to the regulations, all have to be done in a short time, and it's a big load on the contractor.

In addition, some of the language in official documents is difficult to understand. The Ministry of Agriculture of Japan hopes to use AI to simplify work processes and make manuals easier for users to understand.
