AI hiring in Tokyo
Tokyo is Japan's AI hub. Domestic AI companies working on deep learning platforms and model research sit alongside the AI divisions of the large telecom, electronics and trading groups, and the national research base centres on the University of Tokyo and the public research institutes in and around the city. Manufacturing and robotics generate strong perception and control demand. Japanese-language ability is usually expected, which keeps the market relatively insulated.
