The AI Office of Ireland welcomed His Excellency Manabu Miyagawa, Ambassador Japan to Ireland for a courtesy call. Our CEO, Paul Byrne, and colleagues from the AI Office were pleased to meet today with His Excellency Manabu Miyagawa, Ambassador of Japan to Ireland, and his colleague Iwasaki. Ireland and Japan share a strong relationship built on common values, deep economic connections, and a shared commitment to international cooperation. As we approach the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between our two countries next year, the meeting provided a valuable opportunity to reflect on the strength of Irish Japanese relations and to explore areas of mutual interest for the future. Discussions included the growing importance of international engagement on emerging technologies and artificial intelligence, and the opportunities these technologies present. In an increasingly interconnected world, collaboration and knowledge-sharing between trusted partners will play an important role in shaping the responsible development and adoption of human centric AI. We greatly value the relationship between Ireland and Japan and look forward to continued engagement in the years ahead. *AI Modified* #AI #AIGovernance #ArtificialIntelligence #AIOfficeofIreland #AItechnologies #Ireland #Japan
