Abstract

As generative AI becomes more widely used, it is crucial for AI models to accurately reflect cultural and linguistic risks in different regions. Identifying harmful content specific to each culture must be continuously updated. This requires collaboration between AI researchers, social scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to form a global community for ongoing discussions.

 

One approach, known as “red teaming,” involves intentionally trying to break AI models by inducing harmful content, but current red teaming efforts are mostly Western-focused.

 

To address this gap, Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority launched a Singapore AI Safety Red Teaming Challenge in November 2024, gathering experts in culture and language to enhance AI safety in specific regions. Japan is also involved in this initiative. This event will report on the project’s November meeting and discuss frameworks to sustain such communities, welcoming those interested in AI safety and governance.

Previous Events

Dealing with the Brussels Effect: How should Japanese companies prepare for the EU-AI Act?

イベント予定講演会/Lecture

Wednesday, 11 December 2024, 12:00-13:00 JST

This webinar will outline the overview of the EU-AI Act, the activities of four working groups involved in the formulation of the Code of Practice, and important points that Japanese companies and organizations should particularly pay attention to. 
We look forward to the participation of companies, research institutions, and development communities involved in the development, provision, and distribution of AI-related technologies as an opportunity to deepen understanding of the “Brussels Effect” brought about by EU regulatory trends and its impact on Japan. 

Environmental Problems in Developing Countries: What Role for Taxation? (Lecture by Ushioda Fellow Michael KEEN)

イベント予定講演会/Lecture

Wednesday, 11 December 2024 10:30-12:00 JST

Many low income countries face severe environmental problems. They also face an urgent need for tax revenue to finance social needs and economic development. Can environmental taxes provide a way to meet both objectives? Drawing on a recent book, this lecture will take stock of the most pressing of the many environmental challenges faced by low income countries—including in air quality, waste management, soil quality, deforestation, congestion, adaptation to climate change—and consider to what extent improved tax policy can simultaneously help address them and raise a significant amount of tax revenue.

From Invisible to Visible Genders (Lecture by Prof. Tricia OKADA)

イベント予定講演会/Lecture

Friday, 6 December 2024, 15:00-16:30

This lecture will cover ethnographic research on Filipino trans women or transpinay before, during, and after migration in Japan from the 1980s to the early 2000s. Drawing from an intersectional invisibility (Purdie-Vaughns & Eibach, 2008) framework, it will relate the Filipino trans women’s migration experiences to the cases of current issues transgender migrants are facing. This talk will also explore how social media and films create spaces to show and negotiate the (in)visibility of genders.

Individualism in Japanese Life (Lecture by Prof. John LIE)

イベント予定講演会/Lecture

Tuesday, 26 November 2024, 13:00-14:30 JST

We have been repeatedly told that Japan is a "collectivist" or "group-oriented" society, in contradistinction to the United States and other Western countries, which are said to be "individualist." The argument strikes me as wrong, at best. After briefly rebutting the received view, I trace the genealogy of the mistaken idea and explain its cogency.

From Competitors to Partners: Banks’ Venture Investments in Fintech (Lecture by Prof. Manju PURI)

イベント予定講演会/Lecture

Tuesday, 12 November 2024 10:30-12:00 JST

Prof. Manju Puri has hypothesized and found evidence that banks use venture investments in fintech startups as a strategic approach to navigate fintech competition. She first documented that banks’ venture investments have increasingly focused on fintech firms. She found that banks facing greater fintech competition are more likely to make venture investments in fintech startups. Banks target fintech firms that exhibit higher levels of asset complementarities with their own business. Finally, instrumental variable analyses showed that venture investments increase the likelihoods of operational collaborations and knowledge transfer between the investing bank and the fintech investee.
