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" (Gennai) initiative, led by the Digital Agency of Japan. This support is provided through **Qlean Dataset**, the AI training dataset solution offered by its subsidiary, amana images Inc.

This program is specifically designed to powerfully support the core of AI utilization in administrative practices—namely, "Factuality" and adaptation to "Japan-specific contexts"—through the provision of rights-cleared and high-purity datasets.

**Qlean Dataset: The Foundation for Social Implementation of "Government AI"** In a society facing population decline, the utilization of AI is an urgent task for maintaining and strengthening public services. The "Government AI" (Gennai) project, led by the Digital Agency, is an extremely important initiative aimed at ensuring Japan's autonomy in AI and fostering domestic LLMs optimized for administrative workflows.

AI deployed in administrative practices requires "high reliability" that goes beyond general conversational capabilities, demanding a deep understanding of Japanese legal systems, culture, customs, and the specific writing styles unique to official documents. Qlean Dataset, built on Japan's largest repository of rights-cleared data assets, offers data-driven solutions to meet the government's stringent requirements, thereby supporting the process for selected companies' models to advance to the government's full-scale procurement phase. Beyond merely providing data, we strongly support this initiative as a "strategic data partner" for the large-scale social implementation of administrative DX.

**Qlean Dataset's Data Quality and Value That Clears Government Procurement Standards** Qlean Dataset provides the following values to maximize the performance of models developed by selected companies:

* **High Adaptability to Administrative Practices** We supply high-precision datasets for learning and evaluating highly specialized domains (e.g., legal, medical, social security) and structures unique to official documents, which cannot be achieved with publicly available internet data alone. * **Verification of Objective Reliability and Factuality** To suppress hallucinations (plausible falsehoods generated by AI) and ensure factuality acceptable in administrative settings, we support evidence-based model enhancement, such as building benchmarks using unseen data. * **Injection of Japan's Unique Values and Context** Through data reflecting the unique nuances of the Japanese language and Japan's cultural background and values, we accelerate alignment towards "trusted AI" that resonates with users in Japan. * **Thorough Transparency and Compliance** We certify a clean data collection process that complies with copyright law and personal information protection law. Our company has been selected for "GENIAC," promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and NEDO, ensuring high accountability and project sustainability, which are indispensable for government procurement.
