MESEBERG: Germany's Cabinet agreed on plans to create the legal and technical conditions for the use of artificial intelligence in the public sector.
The plans are part of a new data strategy, which the Cabinet approved during its two-day retreat at the Meseberg palace outside of Berlin.
The government does not exclude the development of its own AI language models, known in technical jargon as Large Language Models (LLM).
"We are examining whether and to what extent LLMs should be used sensibly in the public sector while respecting data protection," the strategy document said.
Germany is sitting on a huge treasure trove of data that they now want to lift, Minister of Transport and Digital Affairs Volker Wissing said.
"Up to now, data has far too often remained unused and thus lacking for digital innovations. This applies to industrial as well as public data. We want and need to change that." – dpa
