On a global scale, Japan’s move adds a twist to the regulation debate. Current discussions have focused on a “rogue nation” scenario where a less developed country might disregard a global framework to gain an advantage. But with Japan, we see a different dynamic. The world’s third-largest economy is saying it won’t hinder AI research and development. Plus, it’s prepared to leverage this new technology to compete directly with the West.

I am going to live in the sea.

Hard to say from the article only, but if it is like the status quo in the EU and USA, then only the training data can be illegally obtained. If I have an AI that is able to say verbatim the script of the Bee movie, I will be sued.

Google books had a similar issue. They scanned pretty much all the books in existence and indexed them. Small issue they did not obtain the consent of the copyright holders before doing this. They were sued and won. You can use copyrighted data as long as you do not provide Access to it.

Seems like Japan is deciding to break from the status quo.

If the EU and the USA make it illegal to use copyrighted works without consent, then I wonder how this is going to work out. Will AI companies just move to Japan?
