As content created using AI is being created one after another, a questionnaire survey conducted by an industry group targeting creators found that more than 9% of people answered that they were worried about rights infringement by AI.
In response to the rapid spread of AI, the Japan Entertainers Association, which is made up of actors and musicians, has been conducting the questionnaire on the Internet since the 8th of this month.
On the 15th, the association announced the interim results of the responses of 14,2 people, mainly illustrators, voice actors, and manga artists, as of the 5560th of this month.
As a result, more than 94% of respondents said that they were worried about rights infringement by AI, and more than 58% answered that they were worried about a decrease in work.
Specific rights violations include
▽ In addition
to plagiarizing the drawing style, ▽ The published manga was
used without permission as data for AI learning ▽ My voice that I published while prohibiting secondary use was sold without permission as a model for AI processing, etc. Many people complained that their works were used by AI without permission.
More than one-quarter of respondents called for
"legal regulation" and calls for the payment
of royalties to copyright holders and the suspension of commercial use of AI products, highlighting the growing sense of crisis among many creators.
Actor Megumi Morisaki, who serves as the representative director of the association that conducted the survey, said, "In particular, there are many voices that illustrators are losing their jobs, and I feel the need to make a request to the government again."
