日本經濟財政大臣城內實：政府與日本央行密切溝通，就經濟、物價及金融形勢交流看法至關重要。

Japan’s House of Councillors on Friday approved an amendment to the Personal Information Protection Act permitting companies to use sensitive personal data for AI development and statistical analysis without individual consent, provided the data cannot be used to identify specific persons. Information collected from social media and other platforms may include race, medical records and criminal histories. The revised law introduces profit-based fines for data misuse: firms that improperly obtain or use personal information on more than 1,000 people face penalties equal to the profits derived from that information. The amendment aims to accelerate domestic AI development; related legislation also allows the government to supply data to private firms and research institutions for AI and autonomous-driving development. Business groups have increasingly pushed for looser data-protection rules.
