Japan Launches AI Credibility Tests; S.Korea-UAE Stargate

Japanese authorities have unveiled an AI credibility evaluation system led by NICT. The prototype will launch in 2025. The system uses existing AI to test large language models for bias, discrimination, misinformation, privacy breaches and cultural alignment. A sociologist and jurist panel will validate results under international standards. This AI credibility framework aims to guide consumer choice amid rising use of U.S. and Chinese AI models. Separately, South Korea and the UAE signed a strategic framework for the OpenAI-backed Stargate data center project in Abu Dhabi. South Korea will provide a hybrid power grid and steady semiconductor supply from Samsung and SK Hynix. The partnership includes talent exchange, AI research collaboration, and infrastructure investment. Phase one targets 200 MW within three years. The deal boosts Korea’s chip industry and accelerates the UAE’s AI infrastructure.
