A country that skipped the internet revolution, is extremely dependent on energy imports, and hasn’t even gotten rid of floppy disks will become „the easiest country to develop AI“.
The article is scary to read tbh. They are throwing caution to the wind to catch up on AI and over-relaxing their rules. Basically anything goes at this point.
Interesting move on one hand, it’s great to see innovation being supported, but easing privacy laws feels like a risky trade-off. I get why they want to attract AI development, but if user data isn’t properly protected, it could backfire in the long run. There has to be a balance between progress and privacy, otherwise trust becomes the real casualty.
So they’re gonna accelerate the decline of the anime industry, one of their countries‘ biggest export…..
I just want Japan to quit censoring my porn.
I think you need cheap electricity and attractive salary for related specialists first.
Japan’s government wants to be an AI powerhouse, but they forget we’ve been fighting over the „My Number“ ID cards for a decade. We’re still a country that loves its fax machines and paper trails—full-scale AI data integration is light-years away from our current reality.
Seems like an absolutely terrible idea
Funny coming from a country which supposedly takes privacy so seriously that it has ’no photos‘ signs on the door of almost every public building.
