During the G7 Summit in Hiroshima, Japan, the G7 countries have agreed that separate governance is needed in artificial intelligence (AI), and new Generative AI technologies.

According to Bloomberg, there is also a shared concern among G7 leaders about the potential of this rapidly evolving technology, of which the development of ChatGPT is a good example.

Among other things, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida requested cooperation to ensure AI development is human-oriented and reliable, and has pledged financial support to ensure this.

Concerns were raised after Open AI CEO Sam Altman recently urged US senators to introduce tougher regulations around AI. The World Health Organization has also pointed out that the rapid adoption of AI has increased the risk of medical errors, which could undermine trust in the technology.

According to Bloomberg, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said during the G7 meeting on Saturday that he wants to formulate a policy to address the advantages and disadvantages of AI, and has invited the head of Open AI to the UK. At the same time, the EU will take action to require companies to notify users about when they come into contact with AI, as well as tougher regulations for personal identification.

– What matters is that the government ultimately intervenes with the help of strict legislation if big problems arise, says senior researcher Hiroki Habuka, at the Wadhwani Center for AI and Advanced Technologies.

– But if the law is too detailed, it will not be able to keep up with changes in technology.
