The government has drawn up a draft of its basic program on the development and use of AI, aiming to increase the AI utilization rate among the public initially to 50% and eventually to 80%. The key components of the draft plan include (1) positioning AI as social infrastructure, describing AI as an “intellectual foundation and an execution platform”; (2) creating an AI ecosystem where developers, users, semiconductor manufacturers, and cloud providers collaborate to facilitate overseas expansion and address the digital sector trade deficit; (3) calling for adoption of AI by all ministries, agencies, and eventually all government employees; and (4) leveraging private sector investment, detailing how the 1-trillion-yen fund will secure human resources, support market expansion, and improve R&D infrastructure, all in support of the goal to make Japan “the easiest country in the world to develop and utilize AI.”
