Translated data: The Vice President of the European Union, Jourova, stated that there is a "convergence" in the thinking about generative artificial intelligence (AI) between the EU and Japan. The EU is actively regulating emerging technologies, while Japan hopes to adopt more flexible guidelines than the EU. Both countries are strengthening their cooperation in technology areas such as AI. Currently, they are discussing international guidelines for generative AI, but further discussions are needed on behavioral norms. Despite differing regulatory philosophies, there is a consensus between the two parties on generative AI.
