About this session
While Japan has pioneered regulatory clarity for digital assets, the decentralized nature of DeFi creates new friction points with established financial frameworks. This session explores the legal hurdles of applying domestic regulations to global protocols and the practical challenges faced by startups operating at this intersection. By bridging the gap between formal legal interpretation and the operational realities of the digital asset industry, the roundtable examines how Japan can navigate questions of risk and governance. The discussion aims to identify where current laws must adapt to support a competitive, compliant ecosystem within the global market.
日本はデジタル資産分野において、いち早く明確な規制の枠組みを整えてきました。一方で、DeFi(分散型金融)がもつ分散的な性質は、既存の金融制度との間に新たな摩擦を生んでいます。
本セッションでは、国内規制をグローバルなプロトコルに適用する際に生じる法的な論点や、その狭間で事業を展開するスタートアップが直面している実務上の課題を掘り下げます。形式的な法解釈と、デジタル資産業界の現場で起きている運用の実態とのギャップに目を向けながら、日本がリスクとガバナンスの問題にどう向き合うべきかを議論します。
本ラウンドテーブルでは、グローバル市場において競争力と規制順守を両立したエコシステムを実現するために、現行の法制度がどこで、どのように変わる必要があるのかを明らかにしていきます。 -

About this session
Agentic AI is moving from experimentation to real decision-making in financial services, raising questions not only about safety and control, but also about how autonomy can contribute to the growth of financial institutions. This roundtable addresses both dimensions together.
Grounded in Japan’s hands-on experience—where financial institutions have tested and governed AI under real business and regulatory conditions—the discussion will examine when agentic AI creates tangible value and when it introduces risks that organizations are not yet prepared to absorb. Participants will explore how autonomy can support efficiency, new capabilities, and competitiveness, while also challenging existing operating models, trust, and accountability.
The conversation will focus on what is required to scale agentic AI responsibly, including clear decision boundaries, human oversight, and ownership of outcomes. Japanese perspectives will be brought into dialogue with global stakeholders to examine cross-border considerations and regulatory expectations. The session will conclude by identifying shared principles and practical next steps that can support both sustainable growth and responsible adoption of agentic AI across markets.
エージェント型AIは、実験段階から金融サービスにおいて実際に意思決定を行う段階へと進みつつあります。それに伴い、安全性や制御の問題に加え、AIの自律性が金融機関の成長にどのように貢献できるのかという点も問われています。本ラウンドテーブルでは、これら2つの観点に焦点を当てます。
日本では、金融機関が実際の業務や規制環境のもとでAIを検証してきました。本セッションでは、こうした実践的な経験を踏まえ、エージェント型AIが組織に対して具体的な価値を生み出す場面と、十分に備えきれていないリスクをもたらす場面とを見極めます。あわせて、AIの自律性が業務効率や新たな機能、競争力の向上を後押しする可能性と、それが既存の業務モデルや信頼、説明責任のあり方にどのような課題を投げかけるのかについても考察します。
さらに、意思決定の明確な範囲設定、人による監督、結果に対する責任の所在といった要素を中心に、エージェント型AIを責任あるかたちで導入していくために何が求められるのかを議論します。日本の視点を軸に国際的な関係者と意見を交わし、越境的な論点や規制当局に求められる対応について検討します。最後に、市場を越えて持続的な成長とエージェント型AIの責任ある導入を両立させるための共通の原則と、具体的な取り組みの方向性を示します。 -
