🇯🇵Japan’s AI Law: A Blueprint for Soft Governance? Japan has officially enacted its national AI law — and it’s a clear departure from the EU’s restrictive, risk-based model. The law promotes AI as a strategic economic and innovation asset, not as a technology to be constrained. It establishes broad principles, a future-looking national AI strategy, and decentralizes implementation by empowering local governments. There are no risk categories, no prohibited AI practices, and no binding transparency obligations — only guidance and oversight mechanisms, with room for future amendments as global standards evolve. Japan’s model aligns with soft law thinking: enabling, not enforcing. It raises a fundamental question for policymakers worldwide — should AI governance prioritize flexibility and economic competitiveness over prescriptive regulation? #AI#JapanAI#AIregulation
