Japan's Fair Trade Commission to Investigate Generative AI Market

Oct 03 (News On Japan) - Japan's Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) announced on the 2nd that it will launch a fact-finding investigation into the rapidly expanding generative AI market, focusing on potential emerging issues.

The investigation aims to determine if crucial resources for generative AI development—such as data, semiconductors, and talent—are at risk of being monopolized by a handful of major companies.

In light of the fast-paced nature of generative AI, the JFTC plans to outline key points of concern in advance and gather information and opinions, aiming to quickly grasp the market's actual conditions.

The results are expected to be published by spring next year.
