Abstract |
The EU-AI Act, passed on May 21, 2024 and to be entered into force on August 1, 2024 in EU, is a comprehensive regulation on the development and use of AI technologies. This Act will be gradually implemented until December 31, 2030, and will apply to all entities involved in the development, provision, and distribution of AI systems (including research institutions and the development community since the Act will apply to free provision).
Approximately 1,000 people from generic AI model providers, industry, civil society, and academia in the EU and abroad have gathered to discuss a “Code of Practice (CoP)” for AI, and the final version of CoP will be released in July 2025. The new CoP will become effective on August 2, 2025, and it is imperative that Japanese companies and organizations understand the impact of this regulation.
We look forward to the participation of companies, research institutions, and development communities involved in the development, provision, and distribution of AI-related technologies as an opportunity to deepen understanding of the “Brussels Effect” brought about by EU regulatory trends and its impact on Japan. |
