Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues about the past. CTOnews.com, July 24, according to the Nippon Keizai Shimbun today, the Ministry of economy, Trade and Industry of Japan will introduce a new cutting-edge supercomputer through its affiliated research institutions to support the development of the country's generative AI industry. Foreign companies (compared to Japanese companies) are taking the lead in generative AI, the paper said.

The National Research Institute of Industrial Technology (AIST) is one of the largest research institutions in Japan, which belongs to the Ministry of economy and Industry. The agency will set up a new research base for supercomputing and quantum technology in July, with financial support from the Ministry of economy, Trade and Industry.

It is reported that the Comprehensive Institute of Industrial Technology will develop a supercomputer as early as next year, with about 2.5 times the computing power of existing machines. Under the supervision of Japan's Ministry of economy, Trade and Industry, the agency will provide the supercomputing to domestic companies that develop generative AI through cloud services.

CTOnews.com previously reported that a number of Japanese enterprises and institutions are currently increasing their investment in generative AI. Son Masayoshi, CEO of Softbank Corp. Group, announced at the shareholders' meeting on June 21 that the AI revolution is breaking out, Softbank Corp. will "turn defense into attack", and the company will also develop a Japanese version of ChatGPT. Son even pointed out that "if you can't embrace AI, you will lose the future."

In addition, Japan's Ministry of Education (Ministry of Education) issued a guidance bill on June 22 to allow the limited use of ChatGPT-like generative artificial intelligence in primary, junior and senior high schools. But considering that the use of generative AI may stifle students' creativity and motivation, the guidance Act also requires pupils (under the age of 13) to be particularly cautious when using AI. Any assignment generated by AI, once judged, will be regarded as cheating. The guidance Act states that students should use generative AI to analyze the classroom and get more ideas from it. Students and teachers should also evaluate themselves through AI to avoid being confined to self-thinking.

Tokyo Governor Koike Yuriko also announced on June 13 that all government departments in Tokyo will introduce generative AI represented by ChatGPT, which will be fully implemented from August. "while assessing the positive and negative effects of innovative technology, we will promote its application in all administrative areas and use it to achieve better governance results," she said at the regular session of the Tokyo metropolitan council.
