People familiar with the matter revealed on Wednesday that the Japanese government is considering requiring artificial intelligence-related companies to implement safety and security measures and set penalties for irregularities in order to deal with various risks brought about by advanced AI. The proposal was presented at a closed-door working group meeting on the AI legal system. According to this set of ideas, if an AI-related security incident occurs and the enterprise refuses to cooperate with the investigation by the supervisory authorities, the government has the right to issue rectification instructions with legal effect to the enterprise. Companies that refuse to execute the instructions will face penalties, and the relevant penalties are expected to apply only to advanced AI-related incidents. The working group plans to produce an overall outline of this law revision review before the end of the year, including possible legislative amendments.
