(Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takuma Oue; hereinafter “Exa Enterprise AI“) announced that Hiroshima Prefecture (Hiroshima City, Hiroshima, Governor: Hidehiko Yuzaki) will introduce the ‘exaBase AI for Local Governments’ ChatGPT service to all prefectural employees.

☑ Background
In November 2022, Hiroshima Prefecture formulated the “Hiroshima Prefecture DX Acceleration Plan” to support the DX initiatives of private companies in the prefecture. In a trial use of generative AI conducted from July to September 2023, 40% of the employees responded that generative AI had been effective in saving work-hours. Over half of governmental departments used it daily, and many employees wished to continue using it. Based on these results, Hiroshima Prefecture decided to fully introduce generative AI as a support tool to improve productivity and efficiency in daily operations.
The goal of the ExaWizards Group is to solve social issues by providing AI-powered services and products. ‘exaBase AI for Local Governments’ is an AI product provided by Exa Enterprise AI that incorporates the best practices of generative AI from the private sector. The service will offer comprehensive support to local governments, including business efficiency, policy planning utilization, and employee training on generative AI utilization.
During the introduction of generative AI to Hiroshima Prefecture, the government evaluated proposals for additional features such as training, input error prevention, prompt templates, and proposals for enhanced functions such as the RAG (data linkage) feature, leading to the adoption of ‘exaBase AI for Local Governments.’
