As Japan's political foundations destabilize, a new form of bureaucracy is poised to emerge: AI-driven technocrats for social design. Unlike conventional technocrats or civil servants bound by EBPM (evidence-based policy making), this cadre could redefine governance itself. Yet the education system remains perilously stagnant, fragmented into narrow disciplines that fail to cultivate the integrated capabilities such leadership demands. Without decisive reform, Japanese universities risk irrelevance as artificial intelligence reshapes global realities. Higher education must overcome disciplinary silos and foster holistic expertise able to bridge data, governance, and social foresight. Based on an experimental class the author conducted at the University of Tokyo, this article argues for a fundamental reorientation of academia to prepare the next generation for AI-driven governance.
