Another country is joining the AI race

The surge in artificial intelligence technologies has been widely reported, with a growing number of companies, including Amazon, making their foray into this sector. Many individuals are harnessing AI technologies to simplify their day-to-day tasks. However, recent developments have taken this trend a step further. Microsoft has secured a deal with Japan for the provision of AI technology, signifying a nationwide commitment to advancing in the AI sphere.

Microsoft has entered an agreement to provide its artificial intelligence technology to the Japanese government. This technology, developed by the Microsoft-funded startup OpenAI, will be utilized for a range of tasks such as preparing and analyzing government statistics. The cutting-edge technology from OpenAI is set to enhance the efficiency of the Japanese government's operations.

The Japanese government is optimistic that this technology will boost efficiency and productivity. The pilot phase is slated to commence in the autumn of 2023, and if the technology proves successful, it could be deployed on a broader scale across various governmental departments.

This advancement, however, has not been without its concerns. As artificial intelligence technologies are still in their early stages, they carry substantial risks. Among the chief concerns for users of AI, both individuals and institutions, are misinformation and the occasional instances of AI systems providing false information. Data security is yet another pressing issue.

For instance, a host of companies today, including Apple, discourage their employees from using generative AI models like ChatGPT or from revealing sensitive information. It can be inferred that Microsoft and Japan would have also considered these concerns, but so far, no official statements have been made to address these issues.
