Japan weighs regulating AI developers, following U.S. and EU
TOKYO/BRUSSELS/WASHINGTON -- Japan is considering regulating large domestic and international AI developers to limit risks to society such as the spread of misinformation, following steps taken by the U.S. and the European Union.
Until now, Japan has let companies self-regulate based on government issued artificial intelligence guidelines in order to bolster growth. In a shift, the government's AI strategy council will begin discussions in May on creating a legal framework.
