Microsoft Regional Chief Says This Country Has 'Caught Up' In AI Technology And Continues To Pick Up The Pace: 'I Think It Will Continue To Accelerate'
Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Japan president Miki Tsusaka has expressed her belief that the country's rapid adoption of artificial intelligence could further boost its economy and technology sector.
微軟公司（NASDAQ: MSFT）的日本總裁津阪美希（Miki Tsusaka）表示，日本對人工智能的迅速採納可能進一步促進其經濟和科技行業板塊的發展。
What Happened: Tsusaka highlighted Japan's swift embrace of new AI tools, attributing it to the country's digitalization push during the pandemic. She noted that Japan had made significant progress, despite previously lagging, reported Bloomberg.
發生了什麼：津阪指出，日本迅速採用新的人工智能工具，並將其歸因於該國在疫情期間的數字化推動。她指出，儘管之前落後，但日本已經取得了重要進展，彭博社報道。
"The Japanese have caught up. And I think it will continue to accelerate at this point because the technology enables things that we haven't been able to do," Tsusaka said, adding, "We don't have enough people, our population is aging, and yet generative AI has the power to accelerate growth."
津阪表示：“日本已經趕上了。我認爲此時此刻它將繼續加速，因爲這種技術使我們能夠做到以前無法做到的事情。” 她還說：“我們沒有足夠的人，人口老齡化，但生成AI具有加速增長的能力。”
Tsusaka is particularly interested in empowering more women in the local workforce, a key focus area for Microsoft in Japan. She also identified cybersecurity as a crucial priority, saying, "You can't use AI without security. It's security, security, security. And then you get to use AI."
津阪對賦予當地女性更多權力特別感興趣，這也是Microsoft在日本的重點關注領域。她還說，網絡安全是一個至關重要的優先事項，說：“沒有安全就無法使用人工智能。安全、安全、安全。然後你可以使用人工智能。”
"We all were wowed when the internet came," she said. "Mobile phones now are part of our bodies. But generative AI, I think, is a technology revolution that surpasses all of those."
她說：“我們都驚歎於互聯網的出現，現在，移動電話已成爲我們身體的一部分，但是，我認爲，生成AI是一場超出所有技術革命範疇的技術革命。”

Why It Matters: Microsoft's commitment to Japan's AI development is evident in its $2.9 billion investment over the next two years to expand its AI data centers in the country. This investment, announced in April, coincided with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's visit to Washington.
爲什麼這很重要：微軟致力於日本的人工智能發展，這體現在其未來兩年將投資29億美元以擴大在該國的人工智能數據中心。這項投資於4月宣佈，正值日本首相岸田文雄訪問華盛頓之際。
Microsoft's AI push in Japan has also attracted other major players in the industry. In the same month, ChatGPT-parent OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, opened its first Asian office in Tokyo, aiming to engage with regional businesses and cultivate new revenue streams.
Microsoft在日本的人工智能推動也吸引了行業內其他主要參與者。同月，得到微軟支持的聊天機GPT母公司OpenAI在東京開設了其首個亞洲辦事處，旨在與區域性企業進行互動並開發新的營收來源。
