The European Union sees “convergence” with Japan on thinking about generative artificial intelligence (AI), a senior official said on Monday.<\/p>\n

“I see a lot of convergence in how we look at AI and generative AI,” European Commission Vice-President for Values and Transparency Vera Jourova told Reuters in an interview.<\/p>\n

The EU is at the\u00a0forefront of regulating\u00a0the emerging technology with its hard-hitting AI Act, while Japan is looking at more\u00a0flexible guidelines\u00a0than the bloc to boost economic growth, Reuters has reported.<\/p>\n

The EU and Japan are\u00a0deepening cooperation\u00a0over technology such as AI, cybersecurity and chips seen as important for economic security.<\/p>\n

“I was\u00a0recently in China\u00a0and it’s a totally different thing. I could discuss with our Japanese partners because we do not have to explain to each other basic, basic things,” said Jourova on the sidelines of a forum on internet governance in Kyoto.<\/p>\n

The Group of Seven industrial powers are discussing guidelines for generative AI, a technology being met with excitement and concern, under a process established in Hiroshima.<\/p>\n

Discussions are on track to launch consultations on a framework for AI but a code of conduct for companies involved in AI needs further work, Jourova said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
