Biden is set to host Kishida for an official visit to the U.S. on April 10.

As part of the agreement, Japan and the U.S. will likely set up a framework for AI research and development, working with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Arm and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), among others, the newspaper said.

The U.S. has moved aggressively in recent months to halt shipments of advanced AI chips to China, in its efforts to stop Beijing from getting cutting-edge U.S. technology that could strengthen its military.
