高市早苗首相周四表示，政府将在年底前制定一项行动计划，以促进人工智能的使用，她认为这是经济增长的加速器。
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said Thursday that the government will draw up an action plan by the end of the year to promote the use of artificial intelligence, which she regards as an accelerator for economic growth.
高市在“日本增长战略会议”上表示：“高性能人工智能的社会化实施对于实现政府的增长战略至关重要。”
“The societal implementation of high-performance AI is essential for realizing the government’s growth strategy,” Takaichi said at a meeting of the Council for Japan’s Growth Strategy.
她指示相关内阁大臣制定人工智能利用的具体愿景，以及监管和制度改革方案。
She instructed relevant Cabinet ministers to compile a concrete vision for AI utilization, as well as regulatory and institutional reforms.
在会议上，与会者讨论了将于年底与政府2027财年预算提案一并编制的增长战略实施计划。
At the meeting, participants discussed a growth strategy implementation program to be compiled at year-end alongside the government’s budget proposal for fiscal 2027.
高市表示，她的政府将把从明年4月开始的五年定为促进公共和私营部门在人工智能和半导体等17个战略领域投资的密集期，并将优先领域和投资金额纳入该计划。
Takaichi said her government will designate the five years starting next April as an intensive period to promote public and private investment in 17 strategic sectors, including AI and semiconductors, and include priority sectors and investment amounts in the program.
在优先领域中，将根据盈利能力和连锁反应等因素，确定有望有效提高潜在增长率的项目。
In the priority sectors, projects that are expected to effectively boost the potential growth rate will be identified based on factors such as profitability and ripple effects.
为了向私营企业提供可预测性，政府还将明确跨多个财年的预算措施。
To provide predictability for private-sector companies, the government will also clarify budgetary measures spanning multiple fiscal years.
政府计划将对经济安全具有特殊重要性的领域在特别账户中单独管理，前提是这些项目有助于确保“社会经济结构的自主性”、“相对于其他国家和地区的竞争优势”以及“对国际社会的不可或缺性”。
The government plans to manage sectors of particular importance to economic security separately in a special account, contingent on projects that contribute to ensuring “autonomy of the socioeconomic structure,” “competitive advantage over other countries and regions” and “indispensability to the international community.”
高市还指示内阁大臣制定一揽子政策，旨在解决可能阻碍增长导向型投资的建筑业劳动力短缺问题。
Takaichi also instructed Cabinet ministers to compile a policy package aimed at resolving labor shortages in the construction sector, which could hinder growth-oriented investment.
