    Original author: Fumio Shimpo

     View Summary

    The Japanese personal information protection legal system and the protection of the right to privacy have been mainly developed based on tort law privacy. In particular, Japanese judicial precedents protecting the right to privacy have been influenced by the four common law privacy torts categorised by Dean William Prosser . Prosser restructured all invasions of privacy into four categories of torts and implanted his own taxonomy directly into the American Law Institute's Restatement 2nd of Torts.
    Regarding data protection law in general, the OECD established privacy guidelines in 1980, and the first Japanese personal information protection act for administrative organs was enacted eight years after the adoption of the OECD guidelines. However, it was not until 2003 that legislation was also developed to cover businesses which handle personal information in the private sector. Until then, voluntary efforts to protect personal information were made as a part of compliance. Throughout this period, efforts to protect personal information based on guidelines had been implemented before the enactment of the Personal Information Protection Act.
    In understanding the Japanese legal system, it should be noted that various guidelines have been established together with the law. These guidelines, which can be divided into those enacted by administrative organs and those enacted by private organisations, function as a set of rules for interpreting the law and also as an indicator for administrative organs to make decisions when enforcing the law. It is therefore necessary to understand that the guidelines are not merely standards to encourage purely voluntary efforts on the part of businesses and individuals, but also set out specific criteria for compliance with the law. Hence, in this manuscript, the guidelines are quoted in detail and specific standards are provided in order to clarify the specific criteria for interpretation of the commentary on the Protection of Personal Information Protection Act in Japan.

  • Authentication of Cybernetic Avatars and Legal System Challenges - With a View to the Trial Concept of New Dimensional Domain Jurisprudence (AI, Robot, and Avatar Law)-

    Fumio Shimpo

    Japanese Society and Culture  No.6 2024.03

    Research paper (scientific journal), Single Work, Lead author, Last author, Corresponding author, Accepted,  ISSN  2434-1738

     View Summary

    This article aims to illustrate the basis for the development of authentication, which will be the foundation of future cybernetic-avatar (CA) infrastructures, enabling the safe and secure use of CA’s. This will be realised by the authentication of CA operators (User Authentication Technology), identification and authentication of CA’s (CA Authentication), and ensuring connectivity and existence between operators (User Entities) and the CA’s themselves (CA Notarisation). An ELSI (Ethical, Legal, Social Implications) research platform will be established, to develop a new dimension of the legal field, that is, AI, Robot, and Avatar Law to solve the social issues and realise an avatar lifestyle.

  • Effect of Robot Notification on Acquiring Permission to Use Personal Information

    HAI '23: Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction)  December 2023   124 - 132 2023.12

    Research paper (scientific journal), Accepted

     View Summary

    With recent technological developments, such as machine learning, data collection has become increasingly important. However, due to privacy issues, there is an ethical problem in collecting data on everyday activities. In this study, we aimed to develop a mechanism for acquiring consent interactively by using a robot and, as a first step, focus on a dialogue strategy in which users feel safe to provide their data. Specifically, we investigated the effects of reminder and rationale provided by the robot in situations where consent is obtained. We conducted two experiments in which users conversed with a virtual robot agent in a crowd setting. We found that the robot reminder improved the degree of understanding regarding the use of data. In addition, the permission rate was improved by robot notifications. However, no effect of rationale was observed. These results contribute to the discussion on the ethical aspects of data collection by robots.

  • The Regulation, Management and Governance of AI

    新保史生

    情報通信政策研究 7 ( 1 ) 69 - 100 2023.11

    Research paper (scientific journal), Single Work, Lead author, Last author, Corresponding author,  ISSN  2433-6254

     View Summary

    This paper (i) proposes the "rules (regulations)" necessary for the research and development, use, sale and supply of AI systems and services, (ii) respects voluntary efforts to comply with them, (iii) establishes "rules (harmonised standards, technical standards and requirements)" to act as "de facto mandatory standards" in the sale and supply of services, (iv) establishes management system standards to plan, implement, check and act on them, (v) establishes a legal basis for disciplining these mechanisms, and (vi) establishes the 'AI Supervisory Commission (tentative name)', (vii) which will unveil the concept of AI regulation with the 'Japanese AI System Conformity Assessment System'.
    On the other hand, instead of continuing the trial-and-error approach of considering soft law, which is expected to be exclusively self-disciplining and may not need to be observed, the aim is to overcome the resistance to hard law associated with the introduction of regulations (such as legal prohibitions on substantive issues), against which there are persistent objections, and to address the issues of principles and guidelines that have been discussed so far. To achieve this goal, this paper attempts to move away from the theory of law and regulation avoidance, which leaves compliance to voluntary initiatives and does not regulate through hard law, to 'optimise' AI regulation in the light of international trends, and to propose new measures that will contribute to future AI regulatory policy in the research, development and use of AI.

     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.
