Government and officials from the ruling alliance stated on Friday that Japan is not currently contemplating imposing fines on unethical businesses as part of its forthcoming guidelines concerning the advancement and application of relational artificial intelligence.
The primary objective of the government is to mitigate the potential for unauthorized disclosure of personal data, while simultaneously expediting the progress and implementation of conceptual AI in accordance with the anticipated guidelines set to be finalized later this month.
The forthcoming set of regulations, expected to encompass ten guidelines, will emphasize the importance of upholding the Constitution, safeguarding human dignity, ensuring data security, and mandating transparency in data utilization.
There is a proposal under consideration by the authorities to urge businesses to take measures to discourage excessive reliance on AI and to prohibit the unauthorized sharing of personal data with third parties.
In a bid to address the perceived risks associated with the use of AI in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and broadcasting, the government is contemplating the introduction of an accreditation framework to guarantee the safeguarding of personal data and operational transparency by AI developers.
It is important to note that these regulations are not universally applicable but rather tailored to specific business entities within the designated industries.
