In July 2025, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) formulated Tokyo AI Strategy to address diverse and complex administrative challenges and labor shortages. The TMG actively leverages AI as a core driver to realize the future vision outlined in the “Tokyo 2050 Strategy”, aiming to create a city where every resident can truly feel a sense of well-being.

This strategy aims to proactively utilize AI across all aspects of metropolitan administration, guided by the following core principles: 

• Citizen First―The primary goal of AI is to enhance the convenience and Quality of Life (QOL) for every citizen.
• AI as a Tool for Policy Implementation―AI is a tool to solve challenges and achieve policy goals, not an end in itself.
• Human-Centric AI―AI complements and augments human capabilities, while final decisions fundamentally should rest with humans.
• Risk Management―Understand AI risks, including ethics, bias, safety, privacy, security, and ensure transparency and fairness.
• Open Innovation―Collaborate with academia, research institutions, and the private sectors to foster a thriving AI ecosystem.
