Leader of Opposition Party Team Mirai Meets with Japan’s Takaichi, Teaches Her How to Use ChatGPT
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi met with Team Mirai leader Takahiro Anno at the Prime Minister’s Office and learned new ways to use artificial intelligence.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi held a meeting with Team Mirai leader Takahiro Anno at the Prime Minister's Office to learn about new applications of artificial intelligence. Anno, an AI engineer, had previously offered to explain AI to Takaichi during the party leaders' debate in May. During the meeting on Friday, Takaichi utilized AI chatbot ChatGPT under Anno's guidance to develop a simulator that could calculate the effectiveness of government measures in alleviating the impact of rising prices on a household-by-household basis.
Takaichi expressed that such a tool would have been beneficial during the recent Diet session, though she also humorously remarked that she might no longer need her executive secretaries. Following the meeting, which was subsequently made public, Anno spent approximately 30 minutes discussing potential cooperation with the ruling parties. Anno emphasized that each bill would continue to be evaluated based on its individual merits.
