The United States and Japan are partnering to integrate artificial intelligence into drone technology to complement Japan's future fighter jets.

This U.S.-Japan AI initiative is designed to enhance airborne combat capabilities and secure the technological edge of their alliance.

Japan is collaborating with Britain and Italy to create a next-generation fighter aircraft by 2035, with the U.S. supporting Japan's defense ties with these NATO countries.

Japan's shift to include Britain and Italy in its defense program stems from restrictive U.S. information-sharing policies.

The trilateral defense partnership marks Japan's first major defense equipment project with nations other than the U.S., aiming to replace Japan's F-2 jets and the Eurofighter models of Britain and Italy.

In the broader context of AI expansion, Amazon plans a significant investment in Japan's cloud infrastructure, and Nikon has developed AI to predict bovine birthing.
