Japanese Prime Minister to announce generative AI regulations aimed at cracking down on false information
According to the Yomiuri Shimbun, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will announce rules for the use and regulation of generative AI in Kyoto tomorrow, according to the Yomiuri Shimbun.
According to the source Pexels, this rule aims to crack down on false information generated by AI and ensure that users can tell whether audio or video is generated by AI. In addition, developers should ensure the transparency of AI and disclose relevant risk information, which is expected to include options such as "AI watermark".
Mr Kishida is expected to stress striking a balance between "promotion" and "regulation". He believes that the ability of generative AI to produce complex images and information risks confusing the public, threatening the economy and even causing social chaos.
In order to deal with the risks posed by generative AI, Japan plans to introduce measures for developers first, and then formulate international guidelines for generative AI, including for users, by the end of this year.
CTOnews.com previously reported that the Japan Police Agency decided to use AI technology to monitor and delete potentially crime-related harmful posts on social platforms for the first time from September 29.
On May 11 this year, the Japanese Prime Minister's official residence held the first AI strategy meeting to discuss the application guidelines to be followed by AI. In view of the increasing popularity of generative AI such as AI chat software "ChatGPT" in society, the meeting will explore the active use and regulatory mechanisms of educational institutions, administrators and enterprises when using AI. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida attended the meeting and pointed out: "AI has the potential and risks to make the economy and society more positive. It is necessary to properly deal with both. I hope that the contents and results of the meeting will be reflected in international rulemaking."
