Japan’s second AI Basic Plan aims to accelerate the deployment of agentic and other artificial intelligence technologies in a manner that maintains open AI sovereignty, avoiding reliance on specific vendors or countries.
The strategy intends to enhance the reliability of AI through a combination of institutional, technological, and organizational measures to address growing complexities and associated risks in AI.
Japan plans to play a leading role in international AI governance by positioning itself ahead of the curve, with a particular focus on boosting the capabilities of the AI Safety Institute.
The approach signifies a continuation from the first AI Basic Plan released in December last year.
