OpenAI study shows AI could add over $659b to Japan’s economy

OpenAI has published an Economic Blueprint outlining how Japan can use AI to boost growth and competitiveness.

The document suggests AI could add over 100 trillion yen (US$659.1 billion) to Japan’s economy.

It highlights three priorities: widening access to AI, investing in digital infrastructure like data centers and energy networks, and expanding education and reskilling programs.

The Blueprint notes that AI adoption is growing in manufacturing, healthcare, and public administration.

OpenAI calls for stronger collaboration among government, industry, and academia to support sustainable growth and says Japan’s focus on ethics and inclusion could serve as a global model for responsible AI development.
