The AI Promotion Act took full effect on 1 September 2025, setting up the AI Strategy Headquarters of all Cabinet ministers under Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. At its first meeting on 12 September 2025 it discussed a draft outline of the AI Basic Plan, which said AI use in Japan was low and AI investment small relative to the economy, and proposed four basic policies. The government aimed to finish the plan by the end of 2025.

Why it matters

The outline set the four policy directions that the Basic Plan and its guideline for AI businesses later followed.
