経済安保法、８月から段階施行　重要技術にＡＩなど２０分野―政府

　政府は１９日、５月に成立した経済安全保障推進法の施行に向け、日本の安全保障を経済面で確保するための基本方針と指針の案を公表した。先端技術をめぐる米中両国の覇権争いやロシアのウクライナ侵攻で国際情勢が激変する中、８月上旬から同法を段階的に施行し、半導体をはじめとする重要物資の供給確保や重要技術の開発支援などを一体的に推進する。
　予算を重点配分して開発を支援する技術領域の候補として、バイオ、人工知能（ＡＩ）、量子情報科学など２０分野も列挙した。（2022/07/19-20:58）

Japan plans to put into force its new law for promoting economic security in stages from early August amid the rapidly changing global security landscape.
   The schedule is included in the government's draft policy for the implementation of the law, for which the government obtained approval at a meeting of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's task force on economic security Tuesday.
   Under the law, enacted in May, the government will work to ensure supplies of strategically important goods such as semiconductors and support the development of key technologies in an integrated manner.
   The government hopes to enhance economic security amid intensifying competition for advanced technologies between the United States and China and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
   In the basic policy, the government chose 20 priority technology fields for which it will preferentially allocate money to support development. The fields include biotechnology, artificial intelligence and quantum information science.
