Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has put forward a new plan for managing and controlling generative AI worldwide. This move adds to the ongoing global efforts to regulate this rapidly evolving technology.

Kishida shared his proposal during a speech at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris.

“Generative AI holds immense potential to enhance our world,” Kishida stated. However, he also emphasized the need to address its potential negative impacts, such as the spread of misinformation.

Last year, when Japan led the Group of Seven nations, it initiated the Hiroshima AI process. This initiative aimed to establish international guidelines and a code of conduct for developers working with AI.

Kishida mentioned that 49 countries and regions have already joined the voluntary framework, known as the Hiroshima AI Process Friends Group, although he did not specify which ones.

These participants will collaborate on implementing the established principles and code of conduct. Their goal is to mitigate the risks associated with generative AI and ensure global cooperation in utilizing AI that is safe, secure, and reliable.

Countries like the European Union, the United States, China, and others are also actively working on regulations and oversight for AI. Additionally, international organizations like the United Nations are grappling with how best to supervise this technology.
