A New Frontier in Tokyo: OpenAI Japan’s Inauguration
I am thrilled to share some groundbreaking news with you all. OpenAI Japan embarking on a new chapter of its journey, venturing into the vibrant landscape of Asia with the opening of our first office in Tokyo, Japan. This expansion marks a significant milestone in our commitment to global collaboration and innovation in the field of artificial intelligence.
Why Tokyo? The Perfect Hub for Innovation
Why Japan, you may ask? Well, Tokyo, with its unparalleled blend of technological prowess and a culture deeply rooted in innovation, stood out as the perfect choice for our inaugural Asian office. We are eager to immerse ourselves in Japan’s rich history of technological breakthroughs and its ethos of embracing the future with open arms.
Welcoming Mr. Tadao Nagasaki: Our President for OpenAI Japan
At OpenAI Japan, we are privileged to welcome Mr. Tadao Nagasaki as our esteemed President. With his invaluable expertise and deep understanding of the local landscape, Mr. Nagasaki will spearhead our efforts to integrate seamlessly into the Japanese community. Together, we are committed to fostering partnerships with government agencies, businesses, and research institutions to develop AI solutions tailored to Japan’s unique needs.
Unveiling the GPT-4 Custom Model: Optimized for Japanese Language
But that’s not all. As a testament to our long-term commitment to Japan, we are thrilled to unveil the latest addition to our AI arsenal: the GPT-4 custom model optimized for the Japanese language. This cutting-edge model promises improved performance in translating and summarizing Japanese text, all while operating up to three times faster than its predecessor. Early adopters, such as Speak, a leading English learning app in Japan, have already experienced the transformative impact of this custom model, witnessing a significant enhancement in tutor explanations and a reduction in token costs.
Empowering Businesses: Collaboration with Industry Giants
Moreover, our local presence enables us to collaborate closely with Japanese industry giants like Daikin, Rakuten, and TOYOTA Connected, who are leveraging ChatGPT Enterprise to streamline their operations and drive innovation. From automating complex business processes to optimizing internal reporting, ChatGPT is revolutionizing the way businesses operate in Japan.
AI in Government: Transforming Public Services
But it’s not just businesses that stand to benefit from AI; governments too are harnessing the power of AI to enhance public services and address societal challenges. Take Yokosuka City, for example, which has adopted ChatGPT to improve the efficiency of its public services. Thanks to ChatGPT, city employees have reported significant productivity gains, paving the way for collaboration with other local governments to share best practices and drive meaningful change.
Global Collaboration: Shaping AI Policy
On the global stage, Japan has emerged as a key player in shaping AI policy, advocating for solutions that prioritize human dignity, diversity, and inclusion. As we integrate into the local ecosystem, we are eager to collaborate with the Japanese government and other stakeholders to explore how AI can address pressing societal challenges such as rural depopulation and labor shortages.
Join Us on the Journey: Opportunities at OpenAI Japan
At OpenAI Japan, we firmly believe that the key to unlocking the full potential of AI lies in fostering diverse perspectives and embracing global collaboration. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for passionate individuals to join us on our mission to ensure that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity.
