Meanwhile, they decided to cooperate so that the Technology Protection Network, a joint system between Japanese, American, and Korean law enforcement authorities, can be launched as soon as possible.
In the digital field, the Korean side is related to AI (artificial intelligence), where South Korea is scheduled to be stationed.
The three countries requested the participation and support of the United States and Japan at the summit, and the three countries decided to strengthen cooperation in global AI governance discussions going forward.
