We provided technical support to the Cabinet Office and each Ministry, local governments, and semi-public sector, and supported the full-scale use of Government Cloud. We released "GCAS(Government Cloud Assistant Service)," a centralized tool for use procedures and documents.
In addition, we reviewed the requirements for technology through interviews with each business operator in May 2023.
Background of Efforts
Until now, public authorities has been conducting development of business systems in their own ways. On the other hand, the convenience, security, and speed of services provided by the government have been varied, and the burden of business and costs has been a Issue. Therefore, a mechanism has been established in which all public authorities and local governments can jointly use administrative systems as a cloud service.

Implementation of G7 Digital Tech Ministers' Meeting as the chair Agreement to establish Institutional Arrangement for Partnership (IAP) to operationalize DFFT
At the G7 Digital and Technology Ministers' Meeting in Takasaki, Gunma meeting held in April 2023, we agreed to establish a general data-related Institutional Arrangement for Partnership (IAP) (IAP) for the first time on the realization of DFFT, which was proposed by the Government of Japan in 2019 and has been steadily advancing discussions so far. This will make it possible to accelerate concrete efforts as an implementation phase. In addition, Memorandam of Cooperation (MoC) signed with each country throughout the year to share digital transformation's experience and promote mutual learning. We are deepening discussions toward cooperation and collaboration in the technology field not only with G7 member countries but also with G20, Global South, Asian, Nordic, and Middle Eastern countries.

Background of Efforts
Due to the rapid evolution and spread of generative AI such as ChatGPT, there is a growing momentum for the utilization of AI. While the government as a whole is promoting AI, the utilization of generative AI by the government must avoid the risk of leakage of confidential information, and it is required to improve the utilization environment.
