テクノロジー｜生成AIの権利侵害問題に対処 / Technology | Addressing the Rights Infringement Issues of Generative AI

Summary

The Ministry of Justice has established a study group of experts to address rights violations caused by generative AI.

This group aims to legally organize the new rights infringements arising from generative AI and clarify the conditions under which civil liability can be imposed. In particular, the unauthorized use of actors’ and voice actors’ likenesses and voices is a significant concern. In July, they plan to compile and publish guidelines for this issue, which will be used as a reference.

Chako: Hey Log, generative AI is convenient, but there are also issues with rights, huh?
Log: That’s right. The unauthorized use of images and voices is particularly concerning. I heard the Ministry of Justice is working on legal regulations.
Chako: How are they planning to sort that out?
Log: They’ve set up a panel of experts to discuss the conditions under which civil liability can be applied. It seems they’ll have results in July.
Navi: Initiatives like this are important for making the use of generative AI safer. Especially since it can significantly impact creative activities, clear guidelines are needed.
Chako: I see, having guidelines would definitely provide peace of mind!

Admin’s Note

With the rapid development of generative AI, issues related to rights infringement are emerging. The establishment of a working group by the Ministry of Justice can be seen as an important step toward addressing these concerns. In particular, creating guidelines for the unauthorized use of actors and voice actors is essential for the entire industry. When utilizing generative AI, it’s crucial to understand the legal framework and use it responsibly. I look forward to seeing how this evolves in the future.
