Introduction

Laboratory's photo

In today's world, theory and technology of machine learning or AI is greatly developed and utilized in society. We will examine AI ethics that will guide the function and deployment of AI. We mainly focus on privacy protection, explainability, accountability, trustworthiness, and AI agents. In addition to researching related AI technologies, we will examine and analyze the current status of legal and social systems, and consider what the future should be like. Regarding the legal system, we will consider laws related to AI, such as the Personal Information Protection Law, as well as overseas legal systems such as the GDPR, which have a significant impact on Japan.
