研究発表

本分科会は、精神医療および発達支援領域におけるロボット・AI技術の活用に伴う法的・倫理的課題を多角的に検討することを目的とする。具体的には、自閉スペクトラム症児への深奥質感認識研究や傾聴ロボット「きくロボ」の精神科デイケアでの実証例、発達障害者の自己認識深化を促す集団対話エージェントの開発等、先端的な取り組みを題材として扱う。 　これらの実践において生じる医療情報の取扱い、インフォームドコンセントの在り方、特に脆弱な立場にある患者・利用者の権利保護、ロボット・AIによる介入の法的責任の所在、医療機器規制との整合性等について検討を行う。さらに、精神医療領域特有の課題として、患者の自己決定権と保護のバランス、ロボットとの相互作用がもたらす心理的影響の評価基準、データ収集における倫理的配慮等についても議論する。本分科会では、医療・福祉・法学・工学の学際的視点から、社会実装に向けた法的フレームワークの構築を目指す。

EUのAI整合規則提案（AI法案）が2021年に公表されたのを契機として提唱した「AI規正論」は、日本が電気用品安全法（PSEマーク）やJIS規格（プライバシーマークやISMS）で培った製品安全及びマネジメントシステムの知見を活かし、AIの適合性評価制度構築を目指す試案であった。JIS Q 42001（AIマネジメントシステム）の制定により理論が実装段階に移行し、AI規制・ガバナンス分野ではISO/IEC JTC1/SC42において国際標準の形成に日本側が貢献している事実に着目し、適合性評価制度を軸とした「AI規正」の戦略的可能性を示す。さらに、今後の展開として、サイバネティック・アバター（CA)認証基盤の構築を通じた「製品・マネジメントシステム統合認証」実現への道筋を探る。

On the occasion of the visit to Japan by Michael McGrath, the European Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law, and Consumer Protection, the Delegation of the European Union to Japan and Keio University are honoured to announce this highly timely event to discuss the latest developments shaping privacy and data protection in the digital age. Commissioner McGrath will give a keynote address updating on recent developments in Europe, followed by a panel discussion with leading experts from Keio University and their research team who will discuss privacy and data protection in the digital age, how AI is affecting privacy, the increasing prevalence of targeted advertising, its impact on consumers, and the EU and Japan’s regulatory approaches.

As society evolves toward liberation from physical, cognitive, spatial, and temporal constraints, the implementation of Cybernetic Avatars (CAs) demands both technological innovation and robust social infrastructure. This presentation explores comprehensive research through the E3LSI (Ethical, Economic, Environmental, Legal, and Social Issues) framework, demonstrating pathways to realise a society where CAs can be utilised safely and with confidence.

Japan’s Moonshot R&D Project advances the realization of safe, secure cybernetic avatars by pioneering an E3LSI framework that integrates Ethical, Economic, Environmental, Legal, and Social Issues into system design and deployment. This project highlighting the development of a biometric-based trust infrastructure that serves as the technical nucleus of avatar authentication and identity assurance.These findings confirm that the E3LSI approach simultaneously strengthens technical robustness and addresses broader societal imperatives. By establishing verifiable trust mechanisms and comprehensive evaluation metrics, the research lays the groundwork for human interaction through cybernetic avatars with enhanced confidence, ultimately fostering the emergence of a safe and resilient avatar society.

As advancements in AI and robotics accelerate, ensuring their safety has become a complex and pressing challenge. While these technologies have the potential to revolutionize industries, improve efficiency, and address global issues, they also presenting significant risks that require multidimensional and balanced approaches. Ensuring safety involves technical, ethical, legal, and societal considerations, making it a multifaceted issue. Efforts to address these challenges are underway on both international and national levels. Global organizations such as the G7, G20, OECD-GPAI, and the United Nations have been pivotal in developing principles and frameworks for the safe development and deployment of AI. These principles emphasize transparency, fairness, accountability and respect for human rights. Moreover, the International Organization for Standardization (ISOkyokoy@sfc.keio.ac.jp) is actively working to establish common technical standards for AI and robotics, ensuring interoperability, reliability, and safety across borders. These efforts aim to build trust and foster global cooperation. At the national level, many countries are creating regulations and establishing AI Safety Institutes to address these issues. However, the concept of “safety” in AI and robotics varies among nations, reflecting differences in cultural values, economic priorities, technological readiness, and also by “context”. Therefore, achieving safety requires more than technological solutions or regulations – it requires a holistic, interdisciplinary approach. To effectively address the safety challenges of AI and robotics, it is essential to foster interdisciplinary discussions. By bringing together experts from fields such as computer science, engineering, ethics, law, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, psychology, history, and economics, it becomes possible to address the issue holistically. These discussions help to clarify the limits of technical safeguards, identify the risks, and explore innovative approaches to governance.

AIガバナンスに向けた整合規格制定の意義と期待について検討します。 　AIガバナンスにおける国際標準の意義及びその特徴、AIに関する国際標準（ISO）の策定を担うISO/IEC JTC1/SC42の位置づけと日本の貢献、欧州のAI法対応と整合規格との関係、AIガバナンス規格（ISO/IEC 38507）及び周辺規格の体系、制定予定のAIシステムマネジメント規格（JIS Q 42001及び関連規格）の内容、規格制定過程の議論と背景、これらの規格が制定される意義、自主的取り組みの意義と課題、EUの適合性評価制度との関係とその影響、AIガバナンスにおけるAIマネジメントシステム規格活用のあり方について議論します。 　AI技術の進展に伴い、そのガバナンスのためのルール整備が急務となっています。AIに関する国際標準化の進展とともにAIシステムマネジメント規格がJIS規格として制定予定です。ガイドライン同様に自主的な取り組みや指針としての役割を果たす一方で、産業標準化法に基づく整合規格として制定されるJIS規格が果たす役割と実効性のあるAIガバナンスの枠組みを模索する端緒となる研究会を開催します。
