I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that a majority of the data that various AI models train themselves on do so without getting any sort of permission to do so. It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, as they say, though in the case of ChatGPT developer OpenAI, they probably shouldn’t have taken that lesson to heart. That’s because Japan’s Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA) has requested that the AI developer stops using Japanese media to train its text-to-video model Sora.
It’s interesting to see how different industries are responding to the advancements in AI. The concerns raised by the Japanese association highlight the importance of respecting creators’ rights in the digital age. It’s a complex topic that definitely deserves attention.
