PRESS CONFERENCE
Confronting Deepfakes: Japan's Next Steps in the Age of AI
Dai Yamamoto, Senior Project Director, Data & Security Research Laboratory, Fujitsu Limited
Kotaro Nakayama, Representative, NABLAS Inc.
13:00-14:00 Tuesday, June 24, 2025
Language: The speech will be in English and Q & A will be in English or Japanese with English interpretation.
As generative AI becomes more widespread, Japan is confronting new risks — from the spread of misinformation to the rise of deepfake content, particularly sexually explicit material targeting women and children. Japan recently made its first arrests for the sale of AI-generated pornography and passed a new law on May 28 to promote AI development while addressing its dangers.
Dai Yamamoto of Fujitsu will speak about the NEDO "K" Project, which is developing technologies to counter AI misuse and misinformation. NABLAS CEO Kotaro Nakayama will also discuss how society must adapt to generative AI through public education, legal reform, and technological safeguards.
