Chako: Hey Log, the development of domestic AI is amazing, right? Spending 3 trillion yen on it is incredible!

Log: Yeah, it’s a huge initiative for the country. The key point is that it’s a counteroffensive against the US and China.

Chako: But how will they actually use AI?

Admin’s Note

I believe the domestic AI development plan is a very important initiative for Japan. Especially with the U.S. and China leading the way, making a comeback is essential for enhancing our technological competitiveness. It’s also important for us as ordinary citizens to look towards future applications, like Chaco. I hope this plan succeeds and leads to technologies that will be beneficial in our daily lives.
