Japan and Germany have agreed to initiate a new high-level dialogue framework on artificial intelligence (AI), as announced by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on October 28. This collaboration aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation in emerging technologies, with both countries working towards hosting an AI summit in Japan.
The agreement highlights the growing importance of AI in economic and industrial policy, particularly as trade concerns related to the European Union's proposed preferential treatment for electric vehicles come to the forefront. Japanese Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Ryosei Akazawa raised concerns about potential disadvantages to Japanese automakers due to the EU's EV incentives, urging European authorities to ensure fair market access for Japanese manufacturers.
