Other obligations under Japan Gennai Standard for government AI agents
Use only generative AI services the organisation has approved, such as Gennai, for work, and do not put work material into personal AI accounts or apps.
Do not treat generative AI output as fact; confirm important information against original sources, laws or official government material, and recheck calculations by other means.
Judge the risk level of each AI use case using the high-risk test in the government AI procurement and use guideline, and report likely high-risk projects to the ministry's CAIO.
Check, approve, correct or stop AI processing at the right stages of the work, and do not copy Gennai output into official documents without a staff member checking it.
Search for individuals with AI only when the assigned work requires it, and do not use AI to infer beliefs a person has not stated or to predict their future behaviour.
Put personal information into AI prompts only to the minimum needed for a set purpose, and delete or anonymise names, addresses and other identifiers the task does not need.
Before using Agent Chat on files, confirm the target files, the processing and its effects, and keep a backup as a rule when it edits, overwrites, moves or deletes files.
Set up internal governance for Gennai covering permitted work, functions and information, user rights, budget, user checks and approvals, and incident response, and review it regularly.
Tell users the duties in Chapter 2 of the Standard and give them the education, training and advice needed to use Gennai in line with those duties.
Limit staff use of Agent Chat in licensing, benefits, adverse dispositions, hiring and other work that affects people's rights, according to the work's importance, reach and how easily errors can be undone.
On learning of an incident or anomaly in Gennai Kobo, suspend use quickly, check the impact, restore service, report to the departments concerned, analyse the cause and prevent a repeat.
Fix known vulnerabilities in Gennai software within deadlines set by their severity, and do not release to production while a high-severity vulnerability remains.
