The Japanese government is considering requiring AI companies to implement security safeguards and introducing penalties for non-compliance, sources familiar with the matter said Wednesday, as authorities look to address the risks posed by advanced artificial intelligence. The proposal was presented at a closed-door working group meeting on the legal framework for AI. Concerns are mounting in the market that advanced AI models may behave unpredictably, and several high-profile data breaches and unauthorized access incidents in recent months are suspected to be linked to AI misuse.
