The progress of artificial intelligence generates several fears. The main ones are linked to the copyright of the works (be they musical, audiovisual, literary…). And among the industries championing AI regulation is the manga industry.
Ken Akamatsu, artist, politician and manga creator as I love Hina, published a post on his social networks suggesting that protection against artificial intelligence is closer than ever. Concern on the topic increased after news that an artificial intelligence tool had been developed to imitate the artistic style of Kishin Higuchi, the author of several works.
According to Akamatsu, the new legislation would make those responsible for similar cases criminals. He also said that the Japanese government is considering “infringement of non-copyright subsidies, such as publicity rights, with respect to generative artificial intelligence.”
Furthermore, in the publication, the actor pointed out that “even if the illustrator’s work is not used for AI learning, it can be protected by copyright if the act of creating and using the product satisfies the ‘similarity and dependency’ to existing copyrighted works. .” The information comes from Omelette.
