テクノロジー｜国産AI開発を支援する政府の動き / Technology | Government Initiatives Supporting Domestic AI Development

Summary

The Japanese government has announced its policy to support the development of domestically produced AI based on its own data and technology.

In particular, considering the current situation where Japan is lagging behind the United States and China in generative AI, the government aims to establish reliable domestic AI by providing training data and financial support. This initiative is also seen as crucial from a security perspective, as reliance on foreign AI could lead to data leaks and the spread of misinformation.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey Log, what do you mean by domestic AI?
Log: It means Japan is trying to create AI using its own data.
Chako: Oh! Is that to keep up with AI from the U.S. and China?
Log: Exactly. Especially with generative AI, since they’re ahead in that area, Japan wants to develop its own technology.
Navi: Generative AI refers to technology that automatically creates text. It’s believed that Japan needs to strengthen this technology using its own data.
Chako: I see! So that makes it more reliable!

Admin’s Note

I believe that the development of domestically produced AI is a crucial measure for enhancing Japan’s technological capabilities in the future. Particularly for ensuring data security and preventing the spread of misinformation, domestic AI development is essential. As mentioned in the conversation between Chako and Log, competition in the field of generative AI is intensifying, so I hope that government support will be effectively utilized. I’m also looking forward to seeing the contents of future basic plans.
