The new voluntary framework, known as the Hiroshima AI Process Friends Group, has been signed up to by 49 countries and regions. The group will work on implementing principles and a code of conduct to address the risks of generative AI and promote global cooperation to ensure the safe, secure, and trustworthy use of AI. This comes as many nations, including the European Union, the United States, and China, are working on their own AI regulations and oversight.
Key takeaways:
- Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has introduced an international framework for the regulation and use of generative AI.
- The announcement was made at the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, emphasizing the potential of AI but also highlighting the risks such as disinformation.
- When Japan chaired the G7 last year, it initiated the Hiroshima AI process to establish international guiding principles and a code of conduct for AI developers. The Hiroshima AI Process Friends Group, a voluntary framework, has been joined by 49 countries and regions.
- These nations will work on implementing principles and code of conduct to manage the risks of generative AI and promote global cooperation to ensure safe, secure, and trustworthy AI use.
