Regarding measures in response to rights violations involving the use of generative AI
This autumn, with the release of OpenAI’s new generative AI service Sora2, a large number of videos resembling famous works have appeared online. These videos, which infringe upon the copyrights of anime and characters, are generated based on AI learning.
The advancement of generative AI is a phenomenon that should be welcomed, as it allows more people to share the joy of creation and appreciate creative works. However, such progress cannot be tolerated if it is built upon acts that harm the dignity of authors who have devoted themselves to their creations and violate the rights of many individuals.
If providers of generative AI services do not take responsibility and present effective measures to combat infringement — beyond the voluntary exclusion (opt-out) method — as well as compensation mechanisms for rights holders, the ongoing cycle of violations through these services will continue to undermine the foundation of the content industry.
A national-level response, including the establishment of legal frameworks, is essential for the protection of content.
Our company will take appropriate and strict action against any acts we deem to violate the rights related to our works, regardless of whether generative AI is used or not. Furthermore, we will actively work in cooperation with copyright holders and related organizations to build and maintain a sustainable creative environment.
