Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida presented a new framework for regulating generative AI technology on a global scale during his recent speech at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris.
Kishida emphasized the potential benefits of generative AI in enriching the world but also highlighted the importance of addressing its darker aspects, such as the spread of misinformation.
Last year, when Japan chaired the G7, they initiated the Hiroshima AI process to establish international guiding principles and a code of conduct for AI developers. The framework, known as the Hiroshima AI Process Friends Group, currently has 49 countries and regions on board to implement these guidelines, ensuring safe and trustworthy AI usage worldwide.
Countries worldwide, including the European Union, the United States, and China, have been actively working on regulations and oversight for AI. Global organizations like the United Nations are also exploring ways to supervise this rapidly evolving technology.
The global community’s collaborative efforts underscore the importance of effectively regulating generative AI to harness its benefits while mitigating potential risks.
