Applies to 'utilising businesses' that develop or provide AI-based products or services or use AI in business. The Japanese text says 'shall cooperate'; the Cabinet Office English overview says 'endeavor to cooperate'. Art. 7 also asks them to endeavour to use AI actively. The schema has no cooperation type; public-sector-use is the nearest fit.",
