This was organized by a group of large companies that utilize AI, and 11 companies including major electronics manufacturers and IT companies participated online at the meeting on the 28th.
At the meeting, it was reported that AI is being used for countermeasures against the new coronavirus, such as analysis of smartphone location information and work management during telework, and on top of that, international organizations and others aimed at the new coronavirus countermeasures. It was introduced that there are concerns that the use of Internet will lead to violation of privacy and human rights.
And even in Japan, there is a possibility that individual actions can be tracked in detail due to the easy use of AI, and that discrimination and prejudice against specific areas may occur due to inadvertently showing infection simulations. It was pointed out.
In order to avoid such a situation in the future, the group aims to create guidelines on how to use ethical AI.
