Japan is poised for new digital transformations thanks to initiatives presented at the eighth meeting of the Digital Reform Council.

Digital initiatives at the eighth meeting

The eighth Council meeting gathered Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and Digital Transformation Minister Masaaki Taira. Discussions included plans to introduce AI, drones, NFTs, and other technologies, as well as to create a cloud-based data sharing system.

Public reaction

The public expresses doubts about the new course. Possible consequences of implementing digital technologies, such as using NFTs for regional initiatives and replacing jobs with robots, are discussed. Critics argue that this could lead to uncontrolled changes in society.

Opposition to digital control

Some fear the potential strengthening of state control through the use of digital technologies. The digitalization project is perceived as a threat to personal freedom and a potential increase in costs due to the weak yen. Opponents of former minister Taro Kano express criticism, especially regarding cooperation with foreign companies.

Japan's digital transformation leads to mixed reactions: it offers innovative paths but raises concerns about the future of society.
