THE Yokosuka City Hall in the Kanagawa prefecture will be the first local government in Japan to use ChatGPT in its offices, China Press reported.
In a one-month trial, its 4,000 employees will use the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot created by OpenAI to document minutes of meetings and help with administrative work starting April 20.
Due to privacy issues, its civil servants are prohibited from entering personal and confidential data into ChatGPT.
On April 18, the Kanagawa prefecture government even issued a press statement using ChatGPT, with minor edits from council officers.
Other local governments in Japan are also eager to incorporate ChatGPT into their operations.
In Toda City in the Saitama prefecture, a 16-member research team was set up to study the possibility of its city hall using ChatGPT to automatically answer questions from the public.
