On October 30, Nikkei reported that the Japanese government has requested major US AI developers to expand the availability of high-performance AI models for vulnerability detection. In response to increasingly severe cyberattack threats, the government will use these models to screen critical systems for security vulnerabilities and encourage their adoption by companies in infrastructure and key industries such as electric power and telecommunications. Japan plans to include measures to strengthen cooperation with US AI developers in a cybersecurity policy plan to be announced next week.
