The digital ministers of the Group of Seven (G7) countries have decided that "risk-based" regulation on artificial intelligence (AI) should be adopted.
TheG7 encouraged the ethical use of AI, including the ChatGPT AI bot created by the US company OpenAI, according to media reports.
"Given that generative AI technologies are increasingly prominent across countries and sectors, we recognize the need to take stock in the near term of the opportunities and challenges of these technologies and to continue promoting safety and trust," the G7 ministers said in a joint declaration issued after their meeting in Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, on Sunday.
Japan, the US, and Europe's ministers of digital and technology met for two days to discuss the need for global standards to control technology and a global agreement to improve the free movement of reliable data across borders.
The G7 ministers intend to continue fostering safety and trust, although generative AI technologies like ChatGPT are becoming more prevalent across nations and industries.
G7 - action plan
To achieve this, they supported a plan of action that included encouraging discussion on issues like risk assessment and calling for greater stakeholder involvement in developing global standards for AI governance frameworks.
The G7 also acknowledged the need to promote data-free flow with trust, a notion put out by Japan that aspires to unlock the full potential of global economic growth without jeopardizing people's and enterprises' privacy and security.
By adopting this idea, the Japanese government hopes to provide a road map for future initiatives like the development of a base registry that companies may use as a resource for information on data protection laws in other nations.
The G7 agreed on distinct action plans for internet governance, upgrading robust digital infrastructure in light of geopolitical concerns, and encouraging "responsible AI" innovation and data free flow with confidence.
With the aid of digital tools, they hope to work together to combat fake news and other types of misinformation, network limitations, and human rights abuses.
The G7 expressed their commitment to defending democratic institutions and principles against threats from outside, as worries about digital absolutism in nations like China persist.
Along with improving the connectivity of undersea cables, they also hope to build secure network infrastructure to support developing and emerging nations.
Earlier, China's internet governing body, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), suggested regulations to control AI products like OpenAI's ChatGPT.
The action by CAS comes soon after the two biggest tech companies in the nation, Baidu and Alibaba, unveiled their AI bot technology in an effort to compete with the American market.
