National AI strategy. The Strategy will frame policies to foster AI development in line with ethical and legal principles, that contribute to achieving significant results in line with the national development goals, linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

To stimulate actions of transparency and responsible disclosure regarding the use of AI systems, and promote the observance, by such systems, of human rights, democratic values and diversity. To develop techniques to identify and mitigate the risk of algorithmic bias.

According to Matsuo, “Overall, Japan tends to take a positive stance on the development and use of AI. Simultaneously, it is actively engaged in ensuring safety, thus placing itself in the middle ground between those in the world who promote the use of AI and those who lean toward regulation.

Under the plan, the scale of China's AI core industries should more than triple compared to 2020 and the scale of related industries more than quintuple. By 2030, the public plan is to expand AI in many spheres of manufacturing, governance and national defence.
