Japan Goes All In: Copyright Doesn't Apply To AI Training

Japan's government has decided not to enforce copyrights on data used in AI training, believing that copyright worries have hindered the nation's progress in AI technology. This is part of Japan's plan to become a leader in AI and boost its economic growth. While some artists are concerned, the academic and business sectors are supporting the decision. Japan also hopes to have access to Western data for AI training in exchange for its own cultural content.
