Background

The Trump administration has announced the signing of agreements with Japan and South Korea that will “further enable U.S. engagement with Japan and Korea’s unique science and technology ecosystems to align regulatory and standards approaches, accelerate research and development, and strengthen national security.”

Among other things, both agreements provide that the partner countries intend to work together to promote artificial intelligence exports across the full stack of AI hardware, models, software, applications, and related standards. The agreement with Korea also indicates an intent to explore collaboration on AI export deals “across Asia and beyond” to drive the adoption of a shared AI ecosystem in the region.
