At a press conference, Katayama stated that “the United States, the country directly involved, should provide explanations” about the aforementioned suspension, according to statements collected by the Nikkei economic media outlet.
The head of the Finance portfolio recognized the risks of using these AI models and defended collaboration with the parties involved in this regard: “The risks may be increasing, we must speed up the work”, she stated.
Coinciding with a visit to Tokyo by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Katayama also revealed that, during the day, he will meet with executives from the North American company and the Japanese Softbank to analyze how to address the risks of advanced AI.
