Webinar on June 16 (Tue) 15:00~: "Establishment and Significance of the 'AI Safety Evaluation Perspectives Guide in the Healthcare Domain' by AISI"

The Tokyo Foundation (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Mieko Nakabayashi) will hold a webinar on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, from 15:00, titled "Establishment and Significance of the 'AI Safety Evaluation Perspectives Guide in the Healthcare Domain' by AISI."

In recent years, generative AI has brought about "an innovation once in a decade" to the healthcare domain, such as improving the efficiency of doctors' work and supporting patient communication. On the other hand, risks such as health damage due to hallucinations (generation of misinformation) unique to healthcare AI, which cannot be covered by conventional medical device regulations, as well as advanced privacy protection and security assurance, cannot be overlooked. Amidst such international trends, the AI Safety Institute* (hereinafter referred to as AISI) in Japan has compiled the "AI Safety Evaluation Perspectives Guide in the Healthcare Domain" specifically for this field.

In this webinar, Mammu Inoue (Head of Accelerator Division / Senior Policy Advisor) and Masahiro Kazama (Chief AI Officer) from Ubie Inc., who led the creation of the guide, along with Takasumi Fujita (Senior Research Fellow) from The Tokyo Foundation, who participated in the review system, will provide detailed explanations of the core evaluation items of the guide and the policy intentions behind its formulation. They will also discuss the future of AI governance from multiple perspectives, while exploring specific approaches to utilizing the guide for risks unique to the healthcare domain, including hallucinations, and its impact on practical operations in the development field.

* AI Safety Institute (AISI): A government-related organization with cross-ministerial participation from 12 ministries and agencies and 5 related organizations. The secretariat is established within the Information-technology Promotion Agency (IPA), supervised by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Digital Agency.
