OpenAI’s release of the AI video generator Sora 2 caused a stir in Japan. The generator allows users to create short videos with up to 1080p resolution, often featuring characters from anime and video games. This development has prompted the Japanese government to call on OpenAI to take measures to avoid copyright infringement. Minoru Kiuchi, Minister of Economic Security, emphasized the importance of anime and manga as Japan’s cultural treasures.
Although the new law to promote artificial intelligence in Japan aims to position the country as AI-friendly, there is a lack of concrete legal basis for enforcing copyright infringement. Although the law sets out principles for dealing with problematic AI use, it does not provide for any penalties. Instead, the companies involved are expected to find solutions together.
The challenge is to find a balance between promoting AI innovation and protecting intellectual property. While OpenAI has not yet made an official statement, Japanese politicians are hoping for voluntary action from the company. Digital Minister Masaaki Taira expressed hope that OpenAI will act proactively to address the Japanese government’s concerns.
The discussion about protecting copyrights in the digital age is not new, but it is becoming more urgent due to the rapid development of AI technologies. Experts agree that clear guidelines and international cooperation are necessary to ensure the protection of intellectual property without inhibiting the innovative power of AI development. The coming months could be crucial in finding a path that takes into account the interests of both the creative industries and those of technology developers.
