The release of the AI Studio Ghibli filter, which transforms images into the style of renowned animator Hayao Miyazaki, ignited discussions surrounding copyright issues. Despite Miyazaki's strong disapproval of AI-generated content, Japan's laws favor AI development, allowing the use of copyrighted works for AI training without permission. A survey showed that 94% of Japanese artists fear copyright infringement. Although authorities have stated the need for balance regarding copyright holder interests, the challenge remains significant as content creators feel increasingly vulnerable to AI's encroachment.
When the AI Studio Ghibli filter that turns photos and videos into the beloved style of Hayao Miyazaki's anime was released, it sparked a heated debate on artists' copyrights.
According to a 2023 survey by Arts Workers Japan, which collected data from nearly 27,000 respondents working in creative fields, 94% of Japanese artists have qualms about AI infringement of their copyrights.
Even if lawmakers manage to agree that using copyrighted content to train AI models is not right, everyone has been targeted by the approach.
Miyazaki said that he was "utterly disgusted" by AI-generated content, calling it "an insult to life itself."
