2. Guiding Principles Mapped to AIGP

2.1 Promotion of AI Utilization

Act Requirement: The state, businesses, and citizens shall promote the utilization of AI-related technologies to contribute to economic growth and resolution of societal challenges.

AIGP Implication: The governance protocol must support:

  • Declaration of innovation-enabling context (no default-deny posture)
  • Proportionality assessment before any restriction is applied
  • Positive obligation to facilitate AI adoption, not merely permit it
  • Sector-specific enablement strategies

Mechanism: japanese_context declaration on REGISTER:

{
  "japanese_context": {
    "active": true,
    "governance_framework": "JAPAN_AI_PROMOTION_ACT",
    "innovation_first": true,
    "sector": "MANUFACTURING",
    "hiroshima_principles": ["TRUSTWORTHY_AI", "RISK_BASED_APPROACH"],
    "promotion_obligations": {
      "state_adoption": true,
      "citizen_literacy": true,
      "research_driven": true
    },
    "regulatory_approach": "GUIDANCE_BASED",
    "proportionality_required": true,
    "declaration_date": "2026-06-17T00:00:00Z"
  }
}

2.2 Development of Human Resources

Act Requirement: Promote AI literacy among citizens; develop talent capable of AI research, development, and responsible utilization.

AIGP Mechanism:

  • human_resource_development field — evidence of AI literacy investment
  • Training and capacity building as a governance obligation, not optional
  • Workforce augmentation over displacement framing

2.3 Ensuring Safety and Reliability

Act Requirement: Ensure safety and reliability of AI through research, standards, and guidelines — without resorting to prohibition.

AIGP Mechanism:

  • Safety assessment through guidance frameworks, not binary allow/deny
  • Evidence-based risk evaluation (scientific, not precautionary)
  • Reliability standards that enable iteration, not freeze innovation

2.4 Transparency

Act Requirement: Ensure transparency of AI systems, aligned with the Hiroshima AI Process international framework.

AIGP Mechanism:

  • Transparency obligations calibrated to context and risk level
  • Hiroshima AI Process disclosure standards
  • Explanation mechanisms proportional to impact

2.5 Protection of Rights and Interests

Act Requirement: Protect individual rights and interests while enabling innovation; balance is explicit.

AIGP Mechanism:

  • Rights assessment that does not default to prohibition
  • Innovation impact assessment alongside rights impact assessment
  • Remediation through guidance before restriction

2.6 Fair Competition

Act Requirement: Prevent monopolistic practices in AI; ensure diverse ecosystem of AI providers.

AIGP Mechanism:

  • Market concentration assessment
  • Interoperability requirements to prevent lock-in
  • Open innovation indicators

2.7 Innovation Promotion

Act Requirement: Actively promote AI innovation through research funding, regulatory sandboxes, and reduced barriers.

AIGP Mechanism:

  • Regulatory sandbox declarations
  • Innovation impact assessment (does governance measure impede innovation disproportionately?)
  • Fast-track pathways for low-risk innovation
