The EU sees ‘Convergence’ with Japan in AI

According to a senior official on Monday, the European Union and Japan share “convergence” in their perspectives on generative artificial intelligence (AI).

According to Reuters, the EU is in the forefront of regulating new technology with its strict AI Act, while Japan is looking at more lenient rules than the EU to spur economic growth.

A framework for AI dialogues is now being discussed, but Jourova said a code of behaviour for businesses using AI still has to be developed.
