Aiming to improve the efficiency and sophistication of operations, Tohoku University has introduced ChatGPT, which uses AI (artificial intelligence) to answer user questions in a natural dialogue format.For the time being, it will be introduced from the administrative department and used to create manuscripts for press releases and to automate computer management and operation tasks.
According to Tohoku University, ChatGPT is an AI-based chat service developed by Open AI, an American AI development company.It is characterized by being able to interact naturally with humans by operating with an algorithm that performs natural language processing on large amounts of text data.It is attracting attention as a generative AI that is expected to grow in the future.
Tohoku University will promote the introduction of the system from its administration department, and aims to use it in its education and research departments in the future.For the time being, specific utilization policies include press releases and video creation in public relations work, creation of catchphrases in event work, and management and operation of personal computers used by staff in system operation work.
The introduction of ChatGPT aims to further promote the digitization of operations and improve efficiency and sophistication.It is said that it will be possible to accelerate digitization by combining natural language processing research, which has been promoted mainly by the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, and a DX promotion project for work by young staff.The introduced service has a function to prevent erroneous transmission of personal information and to protect it.
Some companies and government agencies are hesitant to introduce ChatGPT due to security concerns, but among government agencies, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has started using it to revise manuals, Yokosuka City in Kanagawa Prefecture has created documents, and Daiwa Securities has started using it for creating materials.Among universities, Ritsumeikan University has introduced English classes on a trial basis from April in the Faculty of Life Sciences and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
