Japan shows caution on AI safety, QNX survey finds

A survey conducted by QNX indicates that 28% of respondents in Japan express a lack of confidence in AI's ability to make safety-critical decisions. This figure is nearly three times the global average of 11%, suggesting a more cautious approach to AI development and deployment in Japan compared to Western tech firms that often prioritize speed. The findings point towards an engineering-first philosophy focused on ensuring safe human-robot coexistence rather than solely on rapid implementation. AI
