While China rushes ahead with more than 80% adoption, why is it that Japan understands AI but hardly employs it? This book reveals the actual impetus behind digital transformation: institutions, not algorithms. You'll see how China uses AI for geopolitical domination, while Japan is compelled to see it as a labor supplement due to an aging population. Based on unpublished policy documents, labor data divided by gender, and a five-stage chronology of China's rise, this book provides the first institutionalist comparison of East Asia's two titans. You'll leave with tangible changes for inclusive AI governance. To find out why the next decade belongs to those who align social reality with technology, read it.
