OpenAI is under scrutiny from Japan’s Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA), which represents publishers including Studio Ghibli. The organization has requested that OpenAI cease using its members’ copyrighted content for AI model training without permission. This request follows the release of OpenAI’s generative AI products, such as ChatGPT’s image generator and the Sora app, which have been used to create content in the style of Studio Ghibli films. OpenAI’s approach of using copyrighted material without prior consent has led to criticism from various entities, including Nintendo and the estate of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The legal landscape regarding AI and copyright is still evolving, with US law offering limited guidance. A recent ruling found that training AI on copyrighted material did not constitute a violation, though fines were imposed for piracy. However, CODA argues that such practices may infringe on copyright laws in Japan, where prior permission is typically required. This situation places OpenAI at a crossroads, as it must decide whether to comply with these requests or face potential legal challenges. The outcome could significantly impact OpenAI’s operations and its approach to handling copyrighted content in the future.
