Political party in Japan found to use Claude as their base system, draw questions on digital sovereignty

Team Mirai, a relatively new political party in Japan which earned 11 seats in the country's National Diet earlier this month, used "AI Anno" as a core system to talk with voters with Anno being the party's chairman.

Critics point out that, in Claude's Constitution, there are rules like rejecting illegitimate forms of concentrated power.

Which mean the political party, despite being a Japanese one and supposed to heed to Japanese citizens, have their political activities restrained by a private Amerocan corporation.

So, while the rule now only say reject illegitimate concentration of power, in case Anthropic is to add any rules against any Japanese policies in the future, Team Mirai's software platform would stop working.
