I previously analyzed the news about LLM adoption in Sagamihara City, and I feel that the use of AI in local governments is progressing actively.
Since it is directly connected to real life, I have high expectations for more concrete projects to move forward compared to the central government.

Digital MATSUMOTO's Analysis
Kobe City's move to clarify AI usage rules and aim for the enactment of an ordinance can be called a pioneering attempt in Japan toward establishing AI governance. This ordinance legislates various issues regarding the operational use of AI and presents a framework for addressing privacy protection and ethical issues while aiming for efficiency.
As for important points, first, there is the transparency and accountability of AI.Clearly stating how AI makes decisions is essential to gaining the understanding and trust of citizens.In addition, measures are required to carefully manage data selection and the AI learning process to prevent malfunctions and the occurrence of bias.Furthermore, the establishment of an "AI Utilization Advisor" will play an important role in ensuring the appropriate operation of AI by having external experts perform a monitoring function.
As for future challenges, first, there is the point of whether the legislated rules can keep up with the progress of actual AI technology. The rapid development of AI may create new problems even while legal regulations are being adapted to existing technology.Therefore, it is important for the ordinance to have flexibility and to undergo regular reviews and updates.
Second, it is necessary to promote awareness regarding the use of AI.By actively providing education and information to citizens, it is important to resolve misunderstandings about AI and have them correctly understand its benefits and risks.Through this, we can build a relationship of trust with citizens and increase the acceptability of AI services.
Third is the response to the digital divide issue.It is necessary to provide access opportunities and enhance support systems so that all citizens can enjoy AI services equally.By doing this, we should aim for a society that ensures inclusivity as a whole and where everyone can receive benefits.
Finally, consistency with international trends must also be considered.International consensus building at the G7 and movements in AI regulation in the EU are likely to affect domestic AI policy.Setting guidelines in accordance with international standards and aiming for harmony with the international community is also an important task.
Kobe City's attempt to enact an ordinance has the potential toplay a role in leading Japan's AI governance by providing a model case for other local governments and the nation's AI policy as a whole.In response to this, it will be required to hold discussions from multiple perspectives and explore the ideal way to use AI appropriately.
