\u25b6Article Title<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\uff1a<\/strong>Norms in New Technological Domains:Japan\u2019s AI Governance Strategy

\u25b6<\/span>Abstract\uff1a<\/strong>Artificial intelligence (AI) governance systems vary based on countries\u2019 cultural and social attributes. Influenced by its culture and social background, Japan\u2019s AI governance policy focuses on promoting innovation, taking an agile, \u201csoft-law approach\u201d to governance, and emphasizing international interoperability of AI systems. The Japanese government recently strengthened its legal efforts regarding AI by introducing legislation in the Diet (parliament) at a time of dramatically shifting debate on global AI governance policies in 2025. With the start of the second Trump administration in the United States and the AI Action Summit held in Paris in February 2025, the direction of global AI policies is shifting rapidly in favor of innovation, and Global South countries are beginning to participate in discussions about global AI policies. Japan\u2019s AI governance policy focuses on promoting innovation, taking an agile, \u201csoft-law approach\u201d to governance, and emphasizing international interoperability of AI systems. This white paper presents the issues that Japan should address in its AI governance policies and the direction of future collaboration between Japan and the United States. The paper begins with a review of the evolution of Japan\u2019s AI governance strategy and a summary of recent developments in Japan\u2019s AI policy debate. It then identifies current trends in the debate on global AI governance policies and offers recommendations on the future direction of Japan\u2019s AI governance policy and cooperation with the United States.
