AI programmes like ChatGPT to be on G-7 agenda in Hiroshima, driven by enthusiastic Japan
Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was surprised to hear his own voice at an informal meeting with artificial intelligence experts last Tuesday, when it was in fact not him speaking.

G-7 education ministers last weekend also hailed the advancement of the technology, while confirming the need to mitigate risks of plagiarism associated with generative AI.
At least six Japanese Cabinet ministers have gone on record to promote the use of ChatGPT to boost productivity: Digital Minister Taro Kono, Economy Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura, Farm Minister Tetsuro Nomura, Health Minister Katsunobu Kato, Science Minister Sanae Takaichi and Communications Minister Takeaki Matsumoto.
