The Japanese government is considering introducing legally binding regulations on developers of large-scale artificial intelligence systems to ensure they implement measures to address disinformation and other risks, sources close to the matter said Monday. While the government had previously leaned toward making such measures voluntary, it has recognized the need for penal regulations, similar to moves made by the European Union and other countries, amid concerns over potential AI misuse. The government plans to convene a council of AI experts to discuss the issue and is considering incorporating the new regulations into economic and fiscal management policy guidelines to be compiled around June.
