The Japanese government has tasked commissions, companies and organisations using artificial intelligence will be forced to take steps to lessen the risk of over-dependence on the technology, according to proposed rules.
The proposed guidelines also caution AI programmers against using skewed data for machine learning and advise them to keep track of their interactions with the technology in case there are any problems.
The rules are anticipated to be completed by the commission, which is charged with debating the nation’s AI strategy, by the end of the year. The Group of Seven Industrialised Countries, which this year is chaired by Japan, is also collaborating with other members to create global standards for AI development.
The document specifies 10 fundamental principles for AI-related firms, including guaranteeing justice and transparency with regard to preserving human rights and preventing the disclosure of personal data without consent.
Users, service providers who employ the technology, and platform developers will all need to shoulder some level of accountability.
In accordance with classifications, the recommendations offer principles. Developers are urged to make sure that the data used for AI is both accurate and current and to preferably take steps to prevent data from being missed.
