JAPAN and India’s leaders are expected to release a joint statement on cooperation in artificial intelligence when they meet this week, centring on a strengthened partnership to develop large language models, government sources said Tuesday.
The statement is expected to form part of talks between Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and her counterpart Narendra Modi during her three-day visit to New Delhi from Wednesday. The agreement appears to have been formulated with an eye to improving the competitiveness of both countries in the field of AI, an area in which the United States and China are global leaders. India is linguistically diverse, creating demand for the development of AI large language models that can analyze and summarize text.
The joint statement is expected to boost Japanese-India ties on AI to those of strategic research and development partners, according to the sources. Japanese AI developer Preferred Networks Inc, Japan’s National Institute of Informatics and the Indian Institutes of Technology — a network of higher education facilities — are expected to take part in the initiative.
It also includes commitments to boost measures to ensure safety, as concerns over cybersecurity risks to financial institutions and governments have been raised after the release of US startup Anthropic’s Claude Mythos model, which experts say is highly capable of finding software flaws.
