Countries are beginning to regulate privacy and enact far-reaching data protection regimes. Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has influenced the laws of many countries in other parts of the world such as Asia and South America. Japan’s new data protection rules are also similar to the GDPR, but differ in important ways. The United States seems poised to adopt new federal privacy legislation, but it is unclear exactly what America’s new privacy law should look like. What is important for governments to consider? What lessons can US regulators learn from the efforts of other countries? Join us for a conversation with CLIC Visiting Scholar Professor Fumio Shimpo, a widely recognized expert in the fields of privacy, data protection, information law, and AI and robot law, for a global perspective on the regulation of personal data and privacy.

ct AI and Robots are tools created by humans, and are currently at the stage where they are nothing more than tools which only operate according to human intentions. However, if autonomous robots controlled by AI system come to be used everywhere in society, the associated legal issues should be given a thorough legal re-examination. In order to attain a safe and comfortable robot coexistence society, we must immediately start to prepare social systems which are able to accommodate such a greater use of robots and to examine the relevant and ensuing legal issues.
