About AsiaAI.FYI

East Asia is where much of the world’s most consequential AI and technology development is happening — and most of it never makes it into English-language coverage.

AsiaAI.FYI is a weekly intelligence briefing that goes directly to the Japanese and Chinese-language press, technical publications, and government sources that Western analysts rarely read. Every issue translates and contextualizes the stories that are shaping East Asian technology, like semiconductors, AI infrastructure, robotics, policy, and explains why they matter to a global audience.

Who reads AsiaAI.FYI

This newsletter is written for people who need to understand what’s actually happening in East Asian technology, not just what gets picked up by Western wire services:

• Technology strategists and investors tracking the semiconductor supply chain
• Policy analysts following AI governance developments in Japan, China, and Korea
• Business leaders with exposure to East Asian markets
• Researchers and journalists who want primary-source context they can’t get elsewhere

What makes it different

Most English-language coverage of Asian technology relies on the same handful of English-language sources. AsiaAI.FYI reads the primary sources, like Nikkei, ITmedia, government ministry announcements, technical journals, and surfaces the stories and signals that don’t make it across the language barrier.

The result is a weekly briefing with a consistent point of view: East Asia first, primary sources first, business implications always.
