日本参与全球人工智能治理的策略、动因与影响OACHSSCD

Global artificial intelligence governance is currently at a critical stage of rule-shaping,characterized by the coexistence of governance fragmentation and bloc formation,increasingly diverse participants,the continued expansion of governance issues,and growing concentration on core controversies.Driven by social risk pressures,structural constraints in its AI industry,and competition for international status,Japan has pursued global AI governance through parallel mechanisms of policy learning and competition.Under the learning mechanism,Japan selectively accepts international governance principles,institutional instruments,and organizational practices and adapts them to its domestic governance philosophy and institutional conditions.Under the competitive mechanism,Japan adopts differentiated approaches toward major actors:its relations with the United States are characterized more by policy learning and strategic coordination while preserving room for policy autonomy,whereas its relations with the European Union reveal stronger competition over governance models and regulatory influence.Japan also relies on the G7,the OECD,and the Hiroshima AI Process to expand the international influence of its governance preferences.These practices have,to some extent,improved the external institutional environment for Japan's AI industry.However,weaknesses in foundation models,computing capacity,and the broader AI ecosystem continue to constrain the conversion of its rule-making influence into industrial competitiveness and independent bargaining power.Meanwhile,Japan's promotion of minilateral rule diffusion has further complicated and fragmented global AI governance,narrowed the discursive space available to the Global South in the initial framing of rules,and created pressures for China in agenda-setting,regulatory adaptation,and competition among governance platforms.China should therefore uphold multilateralism and open cooperation,strengthen capacity-building and governance cooperation with the Global South,and enhance its initiative in shaping global AI governance rules.
