TOKYO -- The Japanese government has formed a team to create a strategy for using artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT to make administrative tasks more efficient while setting ground rules.

The team held its first meeting Monday, including representatives from relevant ministries and agencies. Members agreed that generative AI will not be given access to sensitive information and that precautions will be taken against other risks, such as privacy breaches.
