IPA IP 2024 Question 12

A question IPA Japan published in 令和6年度 ITパスポート試験 公開問題 問12, translated into English. ITPEC is based on the same exams.

Among the seven “AI Social Principles” specified in the “Social Principles of Human-Centric AI,” one of the guidelines concerning AI, which of the following is the most appropriate description concerning the “Principle of Innovation”?

Explanation

Collaboration across sectors and flexible movement of people, so that people evolve with AI — that is the Principle of Innovation in Japan’s Social Principles of Human-Centric AI.

Japan’s Cabinet Office set out the Social Principles of Human-Centric AI in 2019, with seven: the Human-Centric Principle, Education/Literacy, Privacy Protection, Ensuring Security, Fair Competition, Fairness, Accountability and Transparency, and Innovation. The Principle of Innovation aims at continuous innovation in which people evolve along with AI, through internationalization, diversification, industry-academia-government collaboration and the flexible movement of people between universities, research institutions and companies.

Answer (a)

Why not others:

  • •(b) — sharing responsibility for the results of AI among those who develop, provide and use it belongs to the Human-Centric Principle, under which people decide how AI is used
  • •(c) — explaining to users that AI is used, how its data is obtained and used, and how its results are kept appropriate belongs to the Principle of Fairness, Accountability and Transparency
  • •(d) — education in AI and literacy from early childhood on, so that nobody is left information-disadvantaged, is the Principle of Education/Literacy

Key rule: People decide (human-centric), everyone learns (education), explain and avoid bias (fairness, accountability, transparency), mix people and sectors to keep innovating (innovation).
