Background: Rising Risks in AI Utilization and Stricter Export Management

As the use of generative AI expands, so do the risks associated with data leakage and technology outflow through AI services present in universities and companies. The regulations around export management are also becoming stricter, with movements in the United States to categorize AI models themselves under export controls. In Japan, significant penalties for violations of economic security export management laws are in place, including fines and export bans for individuals and corporations. Ignorance of these laws is not an acceptable defense.

Conversely, the practicalities of export management, such as classification determinations and trading partner screening, often rely heavily on the experiences of personnel, resulting in increased operational burdens with each regulatory change. Tightening safeguards leads to a slowdown in research and business initiatives. Resolving this dilemma is at the core of economic security in the AI age.

Session Highlights: Insights from Practitioners and AI Developers

This session aims to explore the real-world challenges faced by practitioners in export management in conjunction with developers of AI export management agents.

• - Current Export Management Strategies: Discussing the latest regulatory shifts and real experiences from universities and companies.
• - Future of Export Management in AI Age: How will regulations evolve with AI models and data crossing borders?
• - Mitigating Risks Associated with AI Use: Addressing the risks of technology information leakage when utilizing generative AI in business.
• - Balancing Defensive and Offensive Strategies: Practical preparations for preventing technology outflow while actively utilizing AI technologies.
