TLDR: OpenAI may expand services to Japan, and the country is evaluating the benefits and risks of introducing AI-powered technology like OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot.
Japan will consider government adoption of AI technology if privacy and cybersecurity concerns are resolved, and is evaluating possibilities of introducing AI to reduce government workers’ workload.
Japan's cabinet minister in charge of digital transformation hopes that AI technologies would "greatly contribute" to the government’s workstyle reforms, and wants the G7 Digital Ministers’ meeting at the end of April to discuss AI technologies including ChatGPT.

TLDR: Prominent tech investor Ron Conway's firm, SV Angel, will hold a meeting this Wednesday with top executives and policy representatives from AI companies such as OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Apple to discuss AI policy issues, best practices, public policy frameworks, and standards.
The meeting will provide a platform for discussing responsible AI practices and creating baseline rules for AI as tech companies realize the importance of leading discussions around consistent public policies and shared standards to ensure the responsible use of AI as it takes the world by storm.
The Big Picture: Policymakers around the world are contemplating the best way to create rules for the road for AI, including the U.S. government. However, governments move slower than tech firms, and the U.S. has been especially sluggish compared to Europe, which proposed detailed AI regulations a year ago. By taking the lead on creating responsible AI policies, companies can avoid burdensome regulations and show that they are good stewards of the technology.

The funding will be used to improve the company's balance sheet, accelerate profitability, and drive growth.
CryptoGPT, a zero-knowledge layer 2 blockchain company, has raised $10 million in a Series A funding round led by DWF Labs, with a $250 million valuation.
