Exploring AI Principles and Transparency Compliance: A Seminar Overview

Upcoming Seminar on AI Principles and Compliance

A noteworthy seminar titled “AI Principles Code and Transparency Compliance” will be held on May 20, 2026, featuring Takashi Nakazaki, a partner attorney at Anderson Mori & Tomotsune Foreign Law Joint Enterprise. This event promises to bring critical insights into the complex world of AI regulations and their implications for businesses.

Seminar Details

The seminar is scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, 2026, from 4 PM to 6 PM. Participants have the option of attending in person at the SSK Seminar Room located at 2-6-2 Nishi-Shimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, or can join via live stream through Zoom. Additionally, an archive of the session will be made available for two weeks, allowing attendees to revisit the material at their convenience.

Focus Areas of the Seminar

One of the key topics to be covered is the draft AI Principles Code in Japan, which targets AI developers and providers. This framework emphasizes necessary disclosures to rights holders and users. On the European front, the EU AI Act's transparency obligations will come into force on August 2, 2026, requiring businesses to disclose interactions with AI, machine-readable representations of AI-generated content, and other relevant information concerning AI technologies.

In the U.S., states are formulating their own transparency regulations rather than a unified federal law. For instance, from June 30, 2026, Colorado will require high-risk AI developers to provide public statements, impact assessments, and consumer notifications. However, the obligation to disclose AI interactions in conversational AI is currently under separate discussion. Other states like Utah and California are also actively developing their frameworks for AI regulation, reflecting a fragmented but evolving landscape.

This seminar goes beyond just an overview of regulations; it will delve into practical issues facing Japanese companies. Critical questions about what disclosures are necessary, the extent of accountability businesses must assume, and how to properly navigate copyright concerns regarding training data will be addressed. Relevant topics include:

1. The overall landscape of the AI Principles Code and its role in Japan's governance of AI.
2. Understanding the “Comply or Explain” approach in the context of AI regulations.
3. The disclosure frameworks in place.
4. Peripheral issues including AI learning and copyright implications.
5. Comparisons with the EU AI Act’s requirements for transparency.
6. Insights into the transparency needs at the state level in the U.S.
7. How different types of AI (high-risk AI, conversational AI, deep fakes) impact regulatory compliance.
8. A question-and-answer session to address specific participant inquiries.
