According to the Zhitong Finance APP, Miki Tsusaka, President of Microsoft (MSFT.US) Japan, said that Japan is one of the fastest countries to adopt new artificial intelligence tools, which may further accelerate the development of its economy and technology industry.

During the pandemic, with the adaptation of new work-from-home arrangements, Japan's digital efforts have been pushed forward. Tsusaka believes that Japan has regained lost ground from previous delays. She said, "The Japanese have caught up. I think that on this point, it will continue to accelerate as the technology makes it possible for us to do things that we couldn't before." "We don't have enough population, our population is aging, but generative artificial intelligence has the ability to accelerate growth."

Tsusaka also said that she is particularly interested in helping more women in the local workforce master skills, which is one of Microsoft's four key areas in Japan. In addition, the company plans to invest $2.9 billion over the next two years to expand its artificial intelligence data center in Japan. This future investment boosted Japan's electrical utilities and industry stocks, as demand for electricity is expected to rise.

In addition, Tsusaka believes that cybersecurity is another key priority, as "we cannot use artificial intelligence without security." She said that Microsoft is working closely with the Japanese government and businesses to ensure responsible and secure deployment of technology. She also believes that artificial intelligence is an inevitable, revolutionary new technology.
