  • The Energy Transition in Japan Smart Cities and Smart Solutions

    Maciej M. Sokołowski, Fumio Shimpo, Routledge, 2025.04,  Page： 252

    　View Summary

    This book offers a distinctive and comprehensive view of the energy transition of Japan, with a particular focus on the rise of smart cities.

    Drawing on real examples from Japan’s journey towards carbon neutrality, this volume examines a variety of topics ranging from laws and policies to technological and managerial solutions, discussing them in the context of Japan’s energy transition. Among the issues covered by the book are climate action planning, sustainable waste management, energy poverty, decarbonisation, e-methane, transport policies, and smart grids. The book also explores the regulatory tools that either support or hinder the development of smart cities in Japan, and how Japan can leverage its national solutions globally. In this way, this book serves as a guide for global climate action and energy transitions around the world.

    Focusing on both stories of success and lessons learned, this book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of energy transitions, climate action, smart cities, as well as Asian and Japanese studies more broadly.

  • 2nd Edition, Research Handbook on the Law of Artificial Intelligence

    Woodrow Barfield,Ugo Pagallo (ed), Fumio Shimpo, Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd, 2025.03

    Scope: The Japanese Perspective of Regulation, Management, and Governance of Artificial Intelligence,  Contact page： 105-121

    　View Summary

    This chapter has five main aims. It (i) proposes new regulations for research and development, use, sale and supply of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems and services in Japan; (ii) recommends rules, i.e., harmonised standards, technical standards and requirements to act as 'de facto mandatory standards' in the sale and supply of related services in this country; (iii) suggests management system standards for planning, implementing, checking, and acting on them; (iv) proposes a legal basis for disciplining these mechanisms, and (v) advocates for the ‘AI Supervisory Authority', which will determine the regulation of AI in accordance with the 'Japanese AI System Conformity Assessment Scheme'. In order to achieve this fivefold goal, this chapter stresses the shortcomings of every self-regulatory approach, which leaves compliance to voluntary initiatives and does not regulate through hard law. The overall aim of this chapter is to 'optimise' AI regulation in alignment with current and future trends of technology. The chapter proposes five ways in which the future of AI regulatory and governance policy in the research, development, and use of AI in Japan can be improved.

  • Sustainable smart city Tokyo: Between problems of the past and chances of the future

    Sokołowski M.M., Shimpo F., Smart Cities and Japan's Energy Transition: Past, Present, and Future, 2025.03

    　View Summary

    Tokyo has served as a benchmark not only for other Japanese cities but also for cities across Asia and the globe. However, the question remains: is Tokyo truly a smart city? Furthermore, how sustainable is it? In this chapter, we examine Tokyo within the context of its smart city policies, with a particular emphasis on sustainability. We begin our analysis by exploring Tokyo's historical environmental challenges. This includes addressing pollution and contamination during the 1960s and 1970s, with a specific focus on air quality. Subsequently, by reviewing Tokyo's strategies, programmes, and projects, we identify those with the potential to enhance sustainability and innovation of Japan's capital. Finally, we explore the interconnectedness between being a smart city and a sustainable city, using Tokyo as a case study.

  • 情報法の系譜と個人情報保護・プライバシー環境の変遷　- インターネット前史からAI社会へ

    新保史生

    情報法制研究  ( 18 )  2025.11

    Research paper (scientific journal), Single Work, Lead author, Last author, Corresponding author

    　View Summary

    This paper reviews the formation of information law and the evolution of Personal Information Protection from the era of computer-based information processing in the 1970s to the advent of an AI-driven society. At each stage of technological innovation — the emergence of computers, the internet, social networking services and smartphones, and, finally, AI — it examines the legal challenges which arose and the concomitant transformation of the privacy landscape. The analysis surveys developments in domestic and international Personal Information Protection frameworks, including the enactment and subsequent amendments of the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), the OECD Privacy Guidelines, the EU GDPR and AI Act, the EU–Japan mutual adequacy findings, and APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) system. Furthemore, illustrating issues likely to emerge as an AI society advances and next-generation technologies evolve, by tracing the historical interplay between technology and law, offers guidance on how legal systems should respond to the transformations brought about by emerging technologies.

  • Cybernetic avatars for energy transformation: regulating the digital revolution for enhancing sustainable attitudes of energy consumers

    Shimpo F., Sokołowski M.M., Mikusek P., Chawla Y., Figueroa R.B.

    Digital Policy, Regulation and Governance (Emerald Publishing)  DPRG-12-2024-0320.R2 2025.03

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Lead author, Accepted,  ISSN  23985038

    　View Summary

    Purpose: This study aims to fill the gap in the literature and to explore the potential of using cybernetic avatars as tools for climate and energy transformation within the context of public policies, demonstrating their role in heightening awareness and fostering positive attitudes towards sustainable energy among individuals, as well as enhancing the efficiency and communication of public administration. Design/methodology/approach: In the context of disseminating knowledge about the climate impacts of day-to-day human activities, the authors address main elements that constitute the specific basic terms of reference for a draft framework aimed at using cybernetic avatars as tools for climate and energy transformation. Findings: The symbiosis of consumer awareness, technological innovation, and educational endeavours, facilitated by cybernetic avatars, constitutes the linchpin for an environmentally responsible and sustainable energy future. As the energy sector adapts to the evolving preferences of the new generation, the integration of avatars and advanced technologies emerges as a pivotal factor in sculpting a conscientious and ecologically sustainable energy landscape. Social implications: Energy 4.0 technologies transform the energy sector. Industry 4.0 drives digitalisation, which brings various means, such as Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, blockchain and the metaverse, that reshape energy markets and enable distributed energy transactions. These technologies combine to create the concept of avatarisation, which imagines a digital representation in a virtual world, driving us towards Society 5.0. Originality/value: The authors propose a draft framework for the implementation cybernetic avatars in climate and energy policy (“Nexus Avatar Platform for Sustainable Future”), consisting of three main elements: vision, tool scope, and policy coherence.

    　View Summary

    Research subjects are expected to expand to those associated with "new services" and "changes in social infrastructures" for which artificial intelligence (AI) is utilized. In order to predict the possible effects of rapid technical development on society and discuss social systems, it is desirable to set up evaluation axes from interdisciplinary and diversified standpoints. In Japan, however, no one has attempted to systematically study the effects of AI and robotics on society, and preparations for social system construction in anticipation of technical development, such as new laws, economic systems, and management strategies, are not enough.

    Amid the third AI boom, certain new problems occurring at the points of contact between technology and society, such as technical unemployment, have been emphasized. AI and robotics are highly versatile, and the existing social frameworks and rules established by humans do not necessarily conform to social frameworks and rules based on the use and application of AI and robotics. While they contain many potential issues, it is difficult to briefly predict problems that may occur in the future. Therefore, a "society where information technology and humans fit together" can be considered a culture in which problems and risks that are expected to occur can be avoided, and the sense of values desired is reflected.

    The purpose of this study is to collaboratively create how future technology and society should be through dialogue between researchers in the following fields: AI and robotics, law, ethics, economics and management relating to social systems, and various stakeholders, such as Japanese companies leading the use and application of AI and robotics. In addition, we will aim to suggest systems necessary to build cutting-edge rules and social infrastructures as a global hub.
