In an effort to enhance their technological capabilities, Japan and the United States are expected to announce closer cooperation in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductors.

As part of the agreement, Japan and the US are likely to establish a framework for research and development in AI. The collaboration will involve prominent technology companies such as Nvidia, Arm, and Amazon, among others, as stated by the newspaper.
The United States has been taking decisive measures in recent months to restrict the export of advanced AI chips to China. This move aims to prevent Beijing from acquiring cutting-edge US technology that could potentially bolster its military capabilities.
