Japanese govt mulls using US’ AI tool for right-wing narratives: media_我的网站

Illustrations: Chen Xia and Liu Rui/GTAn investigation published by Yuyuantantian, a social media account affiliated with China Media Group, said on Saturday that Japan's government-run generative AI platform Gennai could become a vehicle for right-wing political narratives in administrative work.
A Chinese expert said the current Japanese government has fueled an anti-China atmosphere by portraying China as a "threat" and using increasingly sophisticated tools, including AI, to shape public opinion and build support for Japan's military expansion. Such moves, he added, appear to echo the tactics of Japan's militarism during World War II.
Gennai has also become part of the Takaichi government's broader AI strategy. Japan's Digital Agency said Takaichi instructed the government in December 2025 to utilize the platform, and will launch a large-scale pilot project targeting approximately 180,000 government employees across all ministries and agencies.This means Gennai may well be ingesting data encompassing erroneous remarks on the Taiwan region, illegal claims over the Diaoyu Dao, and narratives that downplay or even glorify Japan's wartime aggression, Yuyuantantian said.
It is worth noting that Gennai is integrated with American large language models represented by the Claude series developed by US AI firm Anthropic, which explicitly designates China as an "adversarial nation," it added.
Yuyuantantian warned that if politically biased or historically distorted material were incorporated into Gennai-generated government content, such output could eventually become what it called a "high-authority source of misinformation."
Deployed extensively across government administrative work, the AI could feed its outputs into official Japanese publications such as government reports, white papers and policy documents. Labeled as official material, such AI generated content may then be scraped into datasets and treated by other large language models as highly credible source material, it said.
Lü Chao, an expert on East Asian studies and a professor at the Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times that the Takaichi government has helped fuel an "anti-China" atmosphere by portraying China as a so-called "major security threat," thereby building public support for Japan's military expansion.
Lü added the use of emerging technologies such as AI showed that efforts by Japan's right-wing forces to shape public opinion were taking increasingly diverse forms.
Japan's Asahi Shimbun previously revealed that Japanese right-wing forces have been using artificial intelligence on a large scale to churn out disinformation denying the Nanjing Massacre and claiming Japan treated civilians humanely during its invasion of China.
China's Ministry of State Security then published a commentary in July slamming such acts that trampled on historical justice and human conscience and have drawn fierce criticism from the international community and visionary people in Japan.
Historically, Japan repeatedly used domestic propaganda to stir public sentiment before and during its wars of aggression during World War II. Some members of the current Cabinet appear to be following a similar playbook for the Japanese militarism: distorting facts, stoking confrontation, portraying China as the main threat, and using that narrative to justify military expansion and pursue regional hegemony, Lü said.
"This is an extremely dangerous path, one that bears an unmistakable resemblance to the actions of Japanese militarism in the past," he added.
。 The UK's public health service has sparked new controversy by erasing references to women from its online advice about exclusively female conditions.,Health professionals spoke out on Tuesday after the National Health Service site removed all references to "women" from its menopause page.,Health Secretary Sajid Javid waded into a similar row earlier in June when the site scrubbed gender-specific terms from its page on ovarian cancer — a disease that kills around 4,100 British women every year — but no men, who are born with testicles, not ovaries.,The organisation defended the changes on the grounds of wanting to sound more "inclusive" of transgender and 'non-binary' people who make up a fraction of a per cent of the UK population.,"The NHS website provides information for everyone. We keep the pages under continual review to ensure they use language that is inclusive, respectful and relevant to the people reading it," said a spokesperson for NHS Digital, the agency that runs the website.,But an Australian nursing and midwifery expert, who has previously criticised such gender-free language about women's health issues, condemned the edits.,"The risk of de-sexing this information remains that women who have low English or health literacy may not know that the information applies to them," said Dr Karleen Gribble of Western Sydney University.,Javid Slams Deletion of 'Women' from NHS Ovarian Cancer Webpage8 June, 11:44 GMT,"That first sentence of the older version 'The menopause is when a woman stops having periods and is no longer able to get pregnant naturally' is really important in signposting to women that they should read further.",Gribble said the revised text went against the "basic principle" that public health advice should spell out who it is aimed at.,"The fact that some women might have low literacy and not know basic terms is shown by the fact that they included a link to a definition of what periods are in the earlier version," Dr Gribble said. "In de-sexing the page they have removed the links to further information."。
