As Ukrinform reported, this was reported by Kyodo with reference to the draft statement of the ministerial meeting.

According to the draft, G7 digital leaders will call for accelerated research into productive artificial intelligence (AI) systems, including ChatGPT, as the rapid spread of such tools raises concerns about their potential negative impact on societies.

The topic of productive AI is expected to be discussed at the G7 summit in Hiroshima in May, and will also be mentioned in a joint statement by the leaders of the seven most industrialized countries in the world.

Launched as a prototype in November 2022, ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is powered by a machine learning model that works similarly to the human brain.

Trained on a massive amount of data, this tool can process and simulate human conversations with users, which benefits it in a variety of areas.

However, many countries are tightening regulations on the use of ChatGPT due to concerns that its developer, OpenAI, is illegally collecting huge amounts of personal user data that could be used for malicious purposes.

The draft ministry statement calls on global organizations to establish international standards for the management of AI, as well as proposes to formulate countermeasures to combat fake news and other forms of disinformation used by Russia, which became a major problem during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Moscow will support its aggression.

In addition, the G7 will develop an action plan to support developing countries, establish a secure network infrastructure, encourage cooperation to improve submarine cable connections, and address the problem of blocking or restricting internet access in some countries.

As reported by Ukrinform, the Japanese government invited Mykhailo Fedorov, Deputy Prime Minister of Innovation, Education, Science and Technology Development and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, to attend the ministerial meeting on the digitization of the Group. Taking place April 29-30, seven countries and Ukraine share their experience in countering major Russian cyberattacks and eliminating vulnerabilities in telecommunications infrastructure.
