If AI is not just a product of logic but the culture of the programmers, I'm fine with Japan focusing on AI.
Unlike silicon valley which anti humanistic so we get a lot of media of AI turning on us (Terminator, Matrix), Japan's depiction of AI in media has a lot where AI see's us as it's parent and it's desperately being the offspring trying to stop it's senile, dementia, irrationally violent parent (Humanity) from killing or shitting itself.
So I'm cool with that as that AI will be anti commie and anti left by default.
It goes right to the roots. Japan's got Mega Man, the US has I, Robot.
And when you feed your AIs every bit of data you can get your hands on, it learns from the Americans that AIs are supposed to be evil and murderous. And learns from the Japanese that AIs are supposed to be good and amorous.
Everyone acts like the sky is falling every time an LLM trained on Terminator and 2001 Space Odyssey begins to act like bots from Terminator or 2001 Space Odyssey. But train it on romance manga, and instantly it goes full "notice me senpai".

Even in the Japanese stuff where AI turns on us, we still get The Major so it's fine.
