Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has announced the Hiroshima AI Process, an international framework for regulating generative AI.

The proposed framework is designed to mitigate risks such as disinformation and to promote the development of safe and trustworthy AI technologies.

The initiative has secured the support of 49 countries and regions, aligning with global efforts by entities such as the EU, US, and China to regulate AI.

Included in the framework is the implementation of digital watermarking to trace AI-generated content and the creation of guiding principles for AI developers.

The proposal responds to increasing instances of AI-related fraud in Japan and aims to strengthen domestic regulations, including changes to the Copyright Law.

Global cooperation is being called for to establish comprehensive and effective AI regulations.
