The leaders of the G7, including the United States, the European Union, and Japan, agreed last week to establish an intergovernmental forum called the "Hiroshima AI Progress" to discuss issues surrounding rapidly developing AI tools.

Japanese Communications Minister Takeaki Matsumoto said G7 officials will hold their first meeting on AI on May 30 and consider issues such as intellectual property protection, misinformation, and how to regulate the technology.
The meeting took place as technology executives worldwide assessed the impact of popular AI services such as Microsoft-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT.
The EU is moving closer to enacting the world's first major law on AI, inspiring other countries to consider what rules should apply to AI tools.
Japan, as the chair of the G7 this year, "will lead the G7 discussion on the responsible use of innovative AI technology," Matsumoto said, adding that the forum hopes to present proposals to the heads of state by the end of this year.
At the G7 summit in Hiroshima last week, leaders also called for the development and adoption of international technical standards to keep AI "reliable" and "consistent with our shared democratic values."
Speaking at a regular press briefing, Matsumoto said the G7 AI working group would seek input from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
