The OpenAI chatbot must make the procedures for applying for public aid or grants less complex, by making the process guides simpler.
For the first time, a member of the Japanese government has assured that he wants to use the ChatGPT text generation tool. The objective would be to make the country’s regulatory texts, which are complex and opaque, more accessible. OpenAI’s artificial intelligence model should help the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to make its documents more understandable.
“We are not doing anything important with this,” warned Minister Tetsuro Nomura, reports the American agency Bloomberg.
Thousands of changed pages
Well aware of the danger that the use of ChatGPT can represent, the minister warned that only publicly available information will be processed by artificial intelligence. “There is always a risk of leaking classified information,” he acknowledged.
ChatGPT will allow the ministry to update the manuals explaining how to fill out requests for subsidies or public aid. Each year, thousands of pages are modified in Japan due to regulatory changes. This task will now be delegated to OpenAI’s artificial intelligence.
The chatbot had previously made an intrusion into Japanese political life. As in France, a member of the opposition used the text generator to write questions addressed to the Prime Minister of the country.
