Japan plans to seek early information about undisclosed software vulnerabilities from US AI vendors and other overseas technology companies, Silicon UK reports, citing Nikkei.

The reported measures form part of a wider cyber-security package expected to be presented at a ministerial meeting as early as Friday. Japan is also reportedly planning a central information-sharing framework, coordinated through its National Cybersecurity Office, to gather intelligence from organisations including companies, cloud providers and security firms. For AI companies, that could mean a bigger role in how governments gather and share cyber threat information. The details of the proposed package are not yet clear.

Discuss: Should AI vendors be expected to share vulnerability intelligence with governments, or should disclosure remain voluntary?
