The city has promoted AI use to address labor shortages from the declining birthrate and aging population, but conventional generative AI raised information leakage concerns for tasks handling personal and confidential data. The new system keeps AI use within a closed city office environment.","whyItMatters":"By keeping generative AI on-premises, Soka City can now apply it to confidential administrative work such as meeting minutes and internal regulations, tasks that were previously restricted in input.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eSovereign GaiXer is a Japanese-language generative AI service for companies and government offices, sold as a package that combines software with a dedicated hardware unit. FIXER says the bundled design lets a secure environment be built in a short period, where general on-premises setups require significant time and cost for server construction and system design. The unit offers up to 1000 TOPS of processing performance and is priced as a one-time purchase, with no charges tied to generation count or usage volume.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoka City has already deployed AI-OCR, AI translation devices, an AI reception guidance system, an AI text conversion tool, and purpose-specific generative AI services across the city office.
