The comparison of AI Ethics Guidelines among Japan, the US and Europe, focusing on issues related to national character

Abstract

With the progress of the technology of artificial intelligence (AI), there have been various groups that discuss the problem of ethical, legal and social issues provided by the AI technology. Although they cooperate with each other to formulate guidelines for the development of AI products, the variety of these guidelines will require great effort to international companies to follow all of these guidelines. One possible factor of such differences is the national character, namely the aspect emphasized in these guidelines is different depending on the country or area in which they are discussed. To examine this, we show the difference of these guidelines and discuss it focusing on a matter of national character.
