Japan plans to seek earlier access to information on undisclosed software vulnerabilities from US AI developers and other overseas technology firms, the Nikkei newspaper reported. The government is expected to present an emergency cybersecurity package at a ministerial meeting that could be convened as early as Friday. Japan had recently sought expanded access to advanced AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI after a wave of cyberattacks believed to have been aided by AI.

Why it matters

Tokyo will explore ways to get early word of serious software flaws, so government agencies and critical infrastructure operators can respond faster.
