Link: Japan panel seeks law to have AI developers help in case of problems
A panel of experts has recommended a new law for Japan that mandates AI developers cooperate with the government during crises involving AI technologies. This proposal was part of a report by the government's AI Strategy Council.
The report emphasized the need for Japan to strengthen its role in coordinating AI policies from research to application.
It also suggested that legal measures are necessary to support these strategies.
Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has directed the government to quickly draft and propose this legislation to parliament. The goal is to have the legislative process underway in time for the next year's parliamentary session.
Ishiba plans to set up an AI strategy headquarters that includes all Cabinet members to draft comprehensive guidelines. This initiative aims to balance AI innovation with risk management and boost international collaboration.
The report highlighted the mounting risks posed by rapid AI advancements.
It insists on a legal framework to ensure the government can request cooperation and information from both domestic and foreign companies.
The report also cautioned against overly restrictive government regulations that could stifle innovation.
It recommended limiting regulations to areas where company-initiated solutions are unlikely. #
