[Speaker] Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Innovation and Environment Bureau Deputy Director, GX Investment Promotion Division, Yuki Kamitani [Key Lecture Content] In the rapidly changing international situation surrounding decarbonization, I will introduce the overall policy of Japan's GX (Green Transformation) policy. One of the pillars of the GX policy is the GX Strategy Regional System, which was established in August of last year. This system aims to create new GX-type industrial clusters centered around industrial resources such as complexes and decarbonized power sources by integrating support through GX financial resources with regulatory and institutional reforms. I will provide an overview of this system. [Lecture Topics] 1. International situation surrounding GX 2. Overall picture of Japan's GX policy 3. About the GX Strategy Regional System 4.

On the other hand, when companies utilize generative AI for image and voice applications, there is a concern about infringing on others' rights related to likeness and voice. This lecture will organize the legal issues surrounding the unauthorized use of likeness and voice. In addition to explaining copyright law, rights of publicity, and the Unfair Competition Prevention Act, it will also present guidelines for the protection of likeness and voice, including ethical perspectives and risk management that companies should adopt. [Lecture Items] 1. Introduction: Current Status and Legal Issues of Likeness and Voice Use by Generative AI 2. Limitations and Possibilities of Protection under Copyright Law and Trademark Law 3. Protection under Tort Law: In-depth Exploration of Rights of Likeness and Publicity 4. Unfair Competition Prevention Act 5. Compliance and Ethical Judgment in Practice 6. Q&A / Business Card Exchange
