The US tariff policy is said to be aimed at reviving American manufacturing. Why does the US place such importance on manufacturing? With the coming of the AI ​​era, AI will be incorporated into a variety of manufactured products, including automobiles and home appliances. The widespread use of AI will also mean the widespread use of manufactured products. The AI ​​era will likely see a fusion of information society and industrial society. The reason behind the US’s plan to revive manufacturing is that it is likely that manufacturing will become profitable in the future. Japan must also keep this point in mind as it moves forward.
