Japan’s Digital Agency announced version 2.0 of its government generative-AI procurement and use guideline on 12 June. The official overview says its contents took effect on 1 September, with the governance-framework scope applying from 1 July.

The framework addresses government oversight, procurement and contract checks, and risk reporting. It is administrative guidance for government use of generative AI, rather than a general AI statute covering every business.

The tracker records the guideline as effective and keeps its June announcement distinct from the September implementation date.
