Visual Bank Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Saneyuki Nagai) is pleased to announce a strategic enhancement of its data support framework for companies selected for the "Government AI" (Project Gennai) initiative, led by the Digital Agency of Japan. This support is provided through Qlean Dataset, the premier AI training data solution managed by our subsidiary, amana images Inc..

This program is specifically designed to provide high-quality, rights-cleared datasets that address the core challenges of AI in public administration: ensuring Factuality and adapting to Japan-specific contexts.

Building the Foundation for Sovereign AI in Japan’s Public Sector

In a society facing rapid population decline, the integration of AI into public services is a critical imperative. The "Government AI" (Project Gennai) project, led by the Digital Agency, is a cornerstone initiative aimed at ensuring Japan's AI sovereignty and nurturing domestic LLMs optimized for administrative workflows.

AI models deployed in government sectors must go beyond general conversational capabilities. They require a deep, authoritative understanding of Japanese legal systems, cultural norms, and the specific structural nuances of official documentation. Qlean Dataset leverages Japan’s largest repository of rights-cleared data assets to provide strategic solutions that meet these rigorous government standards, supporting selected developers as they move toward full-scale official procurement. We serve not only as a data provider, but also as a strategic data partner for large-scale social implementation in the Digital Transformation (DX) of the public sector.

Qlean Dataset: Strategic Value and Data Quality Meeting Government Standards

Qlean Dataset provides the following core values to maximize model performance and meet the stringent requirements of government procurement:

• High Adaptation to Administrative Workflows
  We provide high-precision datasets for training and evaluation in specialized domains such as law, healthcare, and social security—fields where data quality cannot be achieved through web scraping of public data.

• Verifying Factuality and Reliability
  To mitigate hallucinations—the generation of plausible but false information—and ensure the factuality required for government use, we support evidence-based model refinement through benchmarking using "Unseen" (completely original, non-public) data.

• Incorporating Unique Japanese Values and Context
  By utilizing data that reflects the subtle nuances of the Japanese language and local cultural values, we accelerate the alignment of AI models to become truly "trusted AI".

• Commitment to Transparency and Compliance
  We offer a fully transparent and clean data collection process that strictly adheres to Copyright Law and the Personal Information Protection Act. Furthermore, Visual Bank has been selected for GENIAC, a major national project by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to support promising and important generative AI development. This selection serves as a powerful testament to our accountability and the long-term sustainability required for government-level projects.
