<p>Following a draft submission from Japan&#8217;s AI strategy council, concerns have been raised about insufficient AI regulation and associated societal risks. Lawmaker Takashi Kii plans to advocate for rules that protect copyright holders from AI infringement.</p>
<p>Despite initial support from Japanese regulators for OpenAI, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno stated that AI would be integrated into government systems only if privacy and security concerns were properly addressed.</p>
<p>A recent poll showed that over 69% of Japanese participants support stricter AI regulations. In terms of web traffic to OpenAI&#8217;s site, Japan ranks third, as shown by data from Similarweb.</p>

<p>ChatGPT&#8217;s security protocols drew attention from Italian regulators, leading to a temporary ban in Italy. This caused global regulators to <a href="https://walletinvestor.com/magazine/ai-a-potential-pandoras-box-or-panacea" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scrutinize the technology</a> and launch investigations.</p>
<p>Countries worldwide are formulating rules for generative AI. In Europe, the European Union set up a task force on ChatGPT and is working on what could be the first set of rules for AI. Similarly, in the United States, President Biden has voiced concerns over the rapid adoption of AI.</p>
