Are we in time to avoid being replaced by an AI? The G7 will meet at Christmas for this purpose
The Japanese prime minister compared the arrival of generative AI to that of the Internet and said it would bring about “drastic changes in the world.”
Many scientists around the world are concerned about the advancement of AI. And we’re not referring to ChatGPT or tools like DALL-E. That’s narrow artificial intelligence. The fear arises from superintelligent AI, which will come after General Artificial Intelligence.
To the relief of many, it is expected that the G7 leaders will establish international regulations on AI by the end of the year, as announced by Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Monday.
The G7 nations have joined together in a coordinated approach known as the Hiroshima AI Process, which will soon see the leaders of member countries convening via video conference to formulate the guidelines.
Preventing AI from surpassing us
The seven member countries (United States, Canada, Japan, United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy) agreed to discuss governance, intellectual property rights, misinformation, and responsible use in the initiative starting this May.
Kishida also detailed that the Hiroshima AI Process would leverage the multisectoral AI discussions involving the government, academia, civil society, and the private sector at the FGI to create the framework.
The prime minister likened the arrival of generative AI to that of the Internet and stated that it would cause ‘drastic changes in the world.’

Kishida also described the internet as a critical foundation for democratic societies and essential for the development, health, and security of humanity. However, he warned that it had led to the “proliferation of illicit and harmful information, including misinformation, cyberattacks, and cybercrime, threatening our security and our free socio-economic activities.”
The Prime Minister called for a “wide range of stakeholders” to play a role in promoting the distribution of reliable information through AI.
