Though not legally binding, the Principles Code encourages AI firms to openly share details about the data and methods used to train their AI systems.
Businesses that adhere to all or part of the code are required to inform the government and disclose information about the learning processes, types of data used, and methods employed for data collection on their websites. They must also disclose whether their learning data may infringe on copyrights upon request from AI users and rights holders, provided certain conditions are met.
The code applies to both Japanese-based businesses and overseas operators providing AI services and systems within the country.
