【Summary of views】

Clarification needs to be made about differences between AI and existing information systems or computer processing even with the absence of a clear definition of AI.
The coming “Wisdom Network Society” would necessitate the securing of an alternative AI network system.
Privacy issues that may arise in the future are better to be dealt with at an end-user stage rather than at a development stage.
Sufficient care needs to be taken in promoting the provision of information by developers and third-party authentication systems as they may discourage developers and impede innovations.
Consideration needs to be given to the social acceptance of AI as well as to economic and social disparities caused by AI
