Communications Minister Takeaki Matsumoto said he plans to hold a discussion on the use and risks of artificial intelligence at the G7 digital ministerial meeting, which Japan will host at the end of April.
As reported by Ukrinform, this was reported by Kyodo agency.
According to the report, the artificial intelligence revolution, including the emergence of chatbots like ChatGPT, has brought with it a number of challenges, such as the unauthorized collection of personal data and its impact on the learning environment.
Minister Matsumoto stressed the importance of multilateral efforts in the implementation and regulation of artificial intelligence at his press conference and said that Japan “wants to lead the discussion so that its analysis and verification can take place within the framework of the international system”.
Last week, the Italian Data Protection Authority imposed a temporary ban on the use of ChatGPT on suspicion that its developer, OpenAI, has illegally collected large amounts of personal data.
Japanese officials meanwhile said Thursday that the education ministry aims to establish guidelines for the use of ChatGPT and other AI chatbots in schools by March next year, amid growing concerns about the effects on students’ writing and thinking skills.
“I am aware that the rapid development and increased use of artificial intelligence raises issues such as the collection of personal data, as well as the potential impact on society if misused,” Matsumoto said. Said.
At a separate press conference, Taro Kono, Japan’s Minister of Digital Technology, expressed hope that the Group of Seven would send a unified message on the matter.
The digital ministerial meeting will be held in Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture for two days from April 29.
