Abstract |
The “EU-AI Act,” which was established in the EU on May 21, 2024, and came into effect on August 1, is attracting attention as a comprehensive regulation concerning the development and use of AI technology. This Act will be gradually enforced by December 31, 2030, and will apply to all businesses involved in the development and distribution of AI systems (including those provided free of charge, thus also applying to research institutions and development communities).
Currently, about 1,000 participants from general AI model providers, industry, civil society, and academia both within and outside the EU have gathered to begin discussions on the “Code of Practice” for AI. However, there are only a few participants from Japan in these discussions, making it urgent for Japanese companies and organizations to understand the impact of this new Act.
At the University of Tokyo, a webinar was held on December 11, 2024 and January 15, 2025, to explain the EU AI Act and the first draft of the CoP. In this webinar, we will provide an overview of the third draft released at the end of February and highlight important points that Japanese companies 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. |
