Upcoming Seminar on AI Development and Civil Liability

On August 5, 2026, a significant seminar titled "Exploring Civil Liability and Governance in AI Development" will be held, led by partner attorney Yuichiro Kabushiki from TMI Law Office. This seminar is designed to provide deep insights into the legal responsibilities and governance necessary as AI technology continues to evolve.

Seminar Details

• - Date & Time: August 5, 2026, 10 AM to 12 PM (JST)
• - Location: SSK Seminar Room, 4F Zaimax Nishishinbashi Building, 2-6-2 Nishishinbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan

In light of the increasing prevalence of AI technology, understanding the scope of civil liability among developers, providers, and users of AI has never been more critical. In April 2026, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry released the "Guideline for Interpreting Civil Liability in AI Utilization," followed by the establishment of a committee by the Ministry of Justice. This committee aims to examine the civil liabilities associated with unauthorized use of images and voices generated by AI.

As the Artificial Intelligence Promotion Law is fully implemented, and revisions to the AI guidelines are underway, organizations must have a clear governance structure that considers potential future liabilities.

Key Seminar Topics

1. Trends in AI Legislation and Guidelines: An overview of domestic and international developments in AI-related legal frameworks.
2. Fundamental Concepts of Civil Liability in AI: Establishing a basic understanding of civil responsibility in the context of AI development and use.
3. Governance Design and Operation Based on Risk Analysis: Effective methods to create governance structures that adequately manage risks associated with AI.
4. Sector-Specific Considerations for AI Development: In-depth discussions on AI applications, particularly in media, physical services, and other industries.
5. Case Studies on Civil Liability: Utilizing hypothetical scenarios to explore common challenges faced in determining civil responsibilities and governance.
