Japan's government has decided not to enforce copyrights on data used in AI training. The policy applies to any data, whether it's for non-profit or commercial purposes, and whether it's obtained from illegal or legitimate sources. The move is part of Japan's effort to become a leader in AI technology and boost its GDP growth. However, not everyone is on board with this decision, particularly anime and graphic art creators who are concerned that AI could lower the value of their work.
