Japan, U.S. business leaders urge governments to boost AI cooperation

WASHINGTON - Japanese and U.S. business leaders on Wednesday called on their governments to step up cooperation on artificial intelligence, ranging from measures to support corporate procurement of necessary power sources to harmonizing governance of the rapidly growing technology.

After a two-day conference in Washington, the business councils of Japan and the United States issued a joint statement urging both governments to "prioritize accelerating mutual investment, promoting cooperation on AI and advanced technologies, and strengthening resilient and trusted global supply chains."
