Japan gov't mulls disclosing malicious AI developers' names to public

"...misinformation harms people's rights such as preventing them from receiving administrative services."

Who will decide it is misinformation ?

It smeels heavily like allowing censorship on demand.

Anyway, if no punitive measure, what is that bill for ?

"" The Japanese government is considering disclosing the names of developers of malicious artificial intelligence systems to the public, ""

Good move, exposing these THUGS will make it harder for them to carry on with their Evil work.

Japan has a law against defamation, even when it is true. So, are they going to change that law as well? Only fair. Look forward to having all the politicians mistresses announced at the same time. Fair is fair ... and it should be that way already.

Developers are usually working for hire, so they are being paid by someone to create these things. If the result isn't illegal, announcing their work as "harmful" isn't right.

OTOH, if the J-Govt wants to make their work illegal, fine. Go after the company leadership who have asked for the specific features deemed illegal and harmful. I'd hope a law like that already exists. In a few cases, the leaders of the company ARE the actual software developers, but that would be extremely unusual.
