Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has embarked on an international visit, including stops in France, Brazil, and Paraguay, coinciding with the 60th anniversary of Japan's accession to the OECD. In Paris, Kishida attended the OECD Ministerial Council Meeting, where he led discussions on various international issues such as generative AI and the Data Free Flow with Trust (DFFT), and delivered a keynote speech. Additionally, Kishida held summit talks with French President Macron and Prime Minister Attal, and received a courtesy call from Mr. Cormann, Secretary-General of the OECD. Concurrently, Japan is considering regulating AI developers to mitigate societal risks like misinformation, with the government's AI Strategy Council set to discuss a legal framework starting in May.
