[Government AI GENAI App Commentary] Survey on Legal System (Lawson)
AI App for Legal Reviews
I think that when the revision of the order, etc., that you are in charge of is decided, you may have to organize the necessary procedures. For example, even if you want to confirm whether or not the implementation of public comments is necessary, it takes a lot of time and effort to examine the related laws and regulations and articles and organize the grounds.
The "Survey on Legal Systems" app from the Government AI GENAI can be used in such cases. Just by entering a question, it creates a report that organizes the related laws and regulations and grounds, supporting system consideration.
This time, Daiki Kogure of the Digital Agency e-LAWS Team will explain how to use the "Survey on Legal Systems" app along the screens. 
The following is an explanation by Kogure.
Create a report from laws and regulations questions
The study of the legal system is indispensable when planning and drafting policies.
Just finding the relevant laws and regulations and articles can be a challenge, especially when you have just arrived or when you want to conduct cross-disciplinary research on the relevant laws and regulations. It takes a lot of time and effort to sort out the overall picture of the system and the relevant laws and regulations.
That's where the Legal Survey, or Lawson, AI app comes in handy.
When a user types in a question about a laws and regulations, the AI analyzes the content and creates a report that organizes the related laws and regulations, articles, and reference information. The report is created based on e-LAWS laws and regulations records and information retrieved from the Web.
Web search information is obtained from reliable sources, such as the websites of government agencies.
Confirm procedures from the perspective of the Administrative Procedure Act
For example, if you want to confirm whether public comments are necessary when revising the orders, etc. you are in charge of, enter "From the viewpoint of the Administrative Procedure Act, please tell me whether public comments are necessary when revising the orders, etc. you are in charge of" in the question column. 
When executed, the AI will respond in the form of a report.
This example concludes that "In principle, public comment procedures must be implemented." Then, while referring to the relevant provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, the reasons why the case is highly likely to be applicable, as well as the grounds and points for judgment, are organized. 
You can check not only the provisions of laws and regulations, but also the concept of the system and points to keep in mind when considering.
However, the information cited may not be up-to-date, so be sure to check the information of referencing sources when making important decisions.
Can also be used for a wide range of legal system research
This app can be used not only for checking individual procedures but also for various legal system investigations.
A wide range of applications are supported including, for example, checking definitions, checking procedures, and laws and regulations comparisons.
Sorting out laws and regulations and issues related to institutional reform
In addition, it can be used in situations where it is necessary to conduct cross-sectoral surveys of a laws and regulations that is likely to be affected, such as when systems are revised.
For example, you might type, "I want to make institutional changes regarding the AI dataset. Please tell me the laws and regulations involved and anything to consider."
Once implemented, the AI will prepare a comprehensive report and analyze its relationship to relevant current legislation, including laws on personal data protection and copyrights.
Furthermore, from the perspectives of "balancing the promotion of data use and data protection" and "strengthening transparency and accountability," we will sort out the issues and points at issue for system revision.
The structure of related laws and regulations and issues can be grasped, which can lead to future detailed investigations.
In addition, since GENAI can handle Confidentiality class-2 information ((Editor's note) Please check the rules of the respective ministries and agencies regarding the scope of information that can be handled by GENAI), even information that has not yet been disclosed can be entered without worry and used as material for consideration.
Reduce research time and focus on essential tasks
Spending less time researching the legal system frees up resources for more substantive work, such as analyzing policy issues and coordinating with stakeholders.
By utilizing AI, it becomes time to think about time to research.
Even a small question is OK. First of all, please throw a question to Government AI GENAI once.
