Nikkei Asia reports that Japan's AI regulatory task force has released draft guidelines emphasizing openness and public input. The guidelines propose that advanced AI models disclose information about their training data, safety evaluations, and risk management, aiming to foster accountability and transparency while encouraging international cooperation.

The draft also underscores responsible use, urging developers and users to adhere to ethical principles such as respect for human rights and privacy. It calls for safety standards, certification systems, and support for domestic AI industries to balance the benefits of AI with safeguards against potential harms and align Japanese regulation with global trends.
