  • 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

    　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.

    Scope: Cybernetic Avatars and Society,  Contact page： 313-355

    　View Summary

    This open access book presents a vision of a future, where avatars play an integral role in shaping the fabric of our interconnected society. The book introduces the authors’ ongoing efforts to advance avatar technologies and is structured into nine chapters. Chapter 1 discusses the potentially revolutionary impact of cybernetic avatars (CAs) as a new medium of communication, liberating individuals from physical barriers and creating more flexible work environments. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 present developments in CAs with advanced autonomous functionality. Chapters 5 and 6 discuss the creation of a CA platform that connects multiple operators and CAs. Chapter 7 explores the physiological and neuroscientific effects of avatars and other media on operators and users. Finally, Chapters 8 and 9 discuss the societal implementation of CAs.

    This book is stemmed from one of the Moonshot R&D projects funded by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST).

  • Personal Data Protection Issues in the Context of Smart Cities Solutions

    Fumio Shimpo, Piotr Mikusek, Routledge Handbook of Energy Communities and Smart Cities, 2023.09

    　View Summary

    This chapter outlines the data-protection issues involved in the handling of data, in particular data collected and processed within smart meters processes. Consequently, the proper handling and protection of personal data is an essential prerequisite for the realisation of smart cities. The process of decentralising energy systems can be an important factor facilitating the establishment of new forms of local cooperation based on the fulfilment of energy demand adapted to the needs of a specific community. Big data is created in smart cities because of the technology and applications used to collect and analyse personal information from inhabitants and residents, which is then shared across functional areas and used in the urban planning process. Data such as electricity consumption and reverse power flow values do not contain significant information on their own, as they are simply numerical values. Personal information, such as a name, is not limited to information that can be used to identify an individual.

  • Privacy and Data Protection Law in Japan

    Fumio Shimpo, Kluwer Law International, 2023.08,  Page： 248

    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.

    　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.
