AI Governance Association and Trust & Safety Association Jointly Establish 'Research Group on AI-Generated Content Safety'

The AI Governance Association (HQ: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Directors: Gyoto Oshiba, Masashi Nabatame, Hiroki Habuka; 'AIGA') and the Trust & Safety Association (Location: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takaki Kanaya; 'JTSA') announce the joint establishment of the 'Research Group on AI-Generated Content Safety' to address challenges regarding the safety and reliability of AI-generated content that have emerged with the rapid development and social implementation of AI technology. In recent years, the use of generative AI has expanded across a wide range of areas, including text, images, audio, and video, supporting creative activities, operational efficiency, and the creation of new value. On the other hand, new issues related to social trust and safety have arisen, such as the spread of misinformation and disinformation, rights infringement, the generation and distribution of harmful or inappropriate content, and the difficulty of verifying authenticity. This research group is established as a forum for cross-disciplinary discussion and research on these issues from multiple perspectives, including technology, law, ethics, operations, and social impact.
