The Japanese Government has formally requested OpenAI to refrain from infringing copyrights related to its anime and manga industries.
This request was made after concerns were raised about anime-style videos featuring existing characters created via OpenAI's Sora 2 video generator.
Minoru Kiuchi, Japan's Minister of State for Intellectual Property and Artificial Intelligence Strategy, revealed this at a press conference on October 10.
