Japanese Government Makes Formal Request For OpenAI To Stop Copyright Infringement

During a recent press conference, Japanese Minister Minoru Kiuchi highlighted the importance of anime and manga as key parts of Japan’s cultural identity. He and Digital Minister Masaaki Taira called on OpenAI to protect Japanese copyrights and prevent its AI technology from being used inappropriately. Taira also indicated that Japan might use the AI Promotion Act—a law designed to encourage AI development while also safeguarding against issues like copyright infringement—if OpenAI doesn’t cooperate voluntarily.
