Japan determines copyright doesn’t apply to LLM/ML training data.

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.

    I tend to support this idea. If inputting copyrighted materials isn’t infringement then neither should taking the output be.

      Copyright was due for an overhaul globally for decades. Now the system is on the verge of breaking down.

      laundering copyleft inputs into copyrighted outputs sucks tho. This has been happening before AI, but I think that any form of violating GPL, CC-NC or CC-ND should be punished.

        In the US, at least, AI works are inherently public domain. Because copyright only applies to works with a human author.
