Overview of RECOMP project

We started the tri-lateral (Japan-France-Germany) research project titled “Research on Realtime Compliance Mechanism for AI (RECOMP)”(https://research.nii.ac.jp/RECOMP/) in 2021 supported by Japanese Science Technology (JST), Agence nationale de la recherche (ANR) and Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). In this paper, we provide an overview of the project. Our aim here is to enhance reliability of AI in society by implementing realtime compliance mechanisms for legal and ethical norms. Our contribution is to build a compliance mechanism by considering legal norms as hard constraints which must be satisfied and ethical norms as soft constraints which should be satisfied as much as possible (Kowalski and Satoh 2018).
