2. Trustworthiness is essential in an AI world. Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan AISI Japan AI Safety Institute  Autonomous driving and similar technologies have made society more convenient.  On the other hand, users have pointed out an increasing dependence on technology.  Furthermore, many people are concerned that AI might give the incorrect answer.  Trust is particularly crucial when using it for business operations. The real question is no longer “Can we use AI?” It is: “Can we trust it?” 2
3. Approach to Trust Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan AISI Japan AI Safety Institute  In the traditional approach. The focus was on fixed evaluation criteria. • Company or Brand name • Specification • Certification for products and services • Certification for a specialist • User reports  In a software-defined society that changes its functions and performance after purchasing the product, it has become increasingly difficult to fulfil its role adequately. 3
4. Technology is changing so fast Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan AISI Japan AI Safety Institute  AI is Accelerating Structural Change at unprecedented speed.  Every quarter, we meet new technologies. • LLM, synthetic contents, multimodal AI, AI agent, MCP, AGI……  Business models are updated quarterly, not annually 4

Explainability Fairness Robustness Accountability Why did the AI do that? Is it treating everyone equally? Is it safe and hard to break? Who is responsible if it fails?  Not only AI models and data, but also the societal mechanisms themselves must ensure trustworthiness. 7
8. Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan AI-Ready Data AISI Japan AI Safety Institute  We are now facing a flood of data.  It has become impossible for humans to handle it, making it essential to convert it into machine-readable data. Feature Raw Data AI-Ready Data Structure Unorganized, siloed Structured, tagged, and integrated Cleanliness Contains duplicates/errors Deduplicated and validated Context No explanation Rich metadata and clear lineage Safety May contain sensitive information Anonymized and governed We need high-quality data. 8
9. We need a data platform to enable agile responses. Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan AISI Japan AI Safety Institute  In a society where everything is constantly updating, we must keep pace with these changes.  Sometimes this means driving innovation; other times, it means responding to competitors.  At such times, we need a platform that provides the necessary tools and data.  To achieve this, we must establish a Digital Public Infrastructure and also develop a Data Marketplace. 9
10. Moving Toward the Future Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan AISI Japan AI Safety Institute  In this continuously updating society, there are numerous parameters that require our attention.  Localization is also essential, and as a connected society, global collaboration is necessary.  I look forward to exploring the future of society with all of you. 10
