With the use of the interactive AI "ChatGPT" spreading rapidly around the world, countries are beginning to consider regulatory proposals and certification systems due to concerns about protection of personal information. U.S. President Biden has reportedly urged Congress to quickly pass the Federal Data Privacy Act, a bipartisan bill that would restrict the collection of personal information by high-tech companies as an appropriate safeguard for AI. Regarding the protection of personal information, the California Privacy Rights Act （ CPRA ）, which amends the California Consumer Privacy Act （ CCPA ）, became effective in January of this year, and the bylaws regarding amendments made by the CPRA were finalized this spring. The bylaws regarding the CPRA amendments were finalized in the spring of this year. In this seminar, government officials in Washington, D.C., who follow developments in the field of data privacy ・ AI regulation and technology development, will explain the latest trends and related issues in Japanese. In addition, a Japanese lawyer will discuss how Japanese subsidiaries in the U.S. should prepare now for compliance with the CCPA/CPRA and the upcoming federal data privacy bill.
