On a global scale, Japan’s move adds a twist to the regulation debate. Current discussions have focused on a “rogue nation” scenario where a less developed country might disregard a global framework to gain an advantage. But with Japan, we see a different dynamic. The world’s third-largest economy is saying it won’t hinder AI research and development. Plus, it’s prepared to leverage this new technology to compete directly with the West.

      If it’s publicly available, why didn’t Microsoft just download and use it rather than paying them for a partnership?
      (And where at?)

      IIRC they only open-sourced some old stuff.
