Japan AI Policy & Governance

PUBLICATIONS & COLLABORATIONS
This page is dedicated to my research on Japan's AI policy and governance. It is an ongoing project, made possible by Council on Foreign Relations - Hitachi International Affairs Fellowship, my work as a Visiting AI Researcher at Henkaku Center for Radical Transformation (at Chiba Institute for Technology), and my role as President at Center for AI and Digital Policy (CAIDP).
