"AI is a technology that will bring about change, and has great expectations for science, the economy, and humankind," said Eric Lander, President of the United States, Science Advisor and Director of Science and Technology Policy.
He emphasized that "the four countries play an important role in these advanced technologies and can build partnerships on scientific themes that must be addressed in multiple countries."
At the meeting, ministers from four countries confirmed the need to strengthen cooperation in the field of advanced technology.
The Biden administration in the United States attaches great importance to a "quad" framework consisting of four countries that share values such as democracy and the rule of law in countering the growing influence of China, and is international. We would like to hurry to strengthen cooperation even in the field of advanced technology where development competition is fierce.
