Generative AI pilot for drafting and brainstorming
Gifu recorded 5,405 AI uses in a staff pilot, with 83% reporting useful assistance
Problem
Gifu needed to establish whether generative AI could help administrative staff while controlling misinformation and intellectual-property risks.
Approach
The prefecture began a pilot on January 19, 2024, targeting about 400 staff. It required compliance with trial guidelines and collected usage logs and questionnaires. Drafting and brainstorming were the most common applications.
Results
Takeaway
The pilot established reported usefulness and actual usage. It did not quantify time savings.
