In a surprising move, Japan’s government recently reaffirmed that it will not enforce copyrights on data used in AI training. The policy allows AI to use any data “regardless of whether it is for non-profit or commercial purposes, whether it is an act other than reproduction, or whether it is content obtained from illegal sites or otherwise.”
Yikes. That’s scary. Hopefully it won’t lead to more walled gardens or people pulling stuff down. Wonder where they stand on content that is open for individual usages and not corporate.
