LDP Lawmakers to Hold Policy Study Session on AI in Healthcare

Apr 07 (News On Japan) - A group of Liberal Democratic Party lawmakers, including Finance Minister Kato, is preparing to hold a policy study session as early as next week to support the research and development of artificial intelligence in healthcare, according to TV Tokyo.

The session is expected to bring together around 20 lawmakers, including Kato, former Foreign Minister Kamikawa, and former Health Minister Tamura.

Following the political fundraising scandal that led to the dissolution of all LDP factions except the Aso faction, the party has seen a rise in alternative groupings. Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi and former Secretary-General Motegi, for example, have each launched study groups or parliamentary associations, signaling growing activity aimed at building influence ahead of the next party leadership race.
