Why did the Anim industry embrace artificial intelligence? …
Japan’s laws allow the use of publication rights to train artificial intelligence models. Although artists are concerned about their future, some cultural and social features in the country may help to accept artificial intelligence.
The artificial intelligence filter inspired by the Studio Kipley Style, which changes images and videos, has been published as maps such as a widespread controversial Anim Hayo Miyazaki about artists’ rights.
Although Gibli Studio did not respond directly to this trend, the 2016 interview with the founding partner of 2016 was “completely disgusted” from artificial intelligence, which describes it as “shame for the same life.”
But this does not prevent Japan from pushing the growth of artificial intelligence.
The Japanese Publishing Act was amended in 2019, and it is widely explained that it allows the use of publication rights to train artificial intelligence instruments without the right of the right holder. This law is very soft compared to its European Union or the United States, and is aimed at attracting investors in the artificial intelligence industry.
Japanese artists expressed clear concern over these advances. According to a questionnaire conducted by the “Art Workers” Foundation in Japan by 2023, about 27,000 people working in the creativity sectors expressed their concerns about violating artificial intelligence of their rights.
In an attempt to clarify the situation, the Japanese Cultural Affairs Institute pointed out that these soft laws are not applicable if the exploitation of the works protected for the right owner’s interests last year is not applicable.
But any effort to protect the copyright can be difficult. Although it is legally acknowledged that the use of protected content for training models is illegal, everyone has been affected by this trend, said Charlie Fing, a professor of artificial intelligence at Chapman University, California.
He says: “Question: If the crime is this amount, how can you handle the damage?”
Anim’s industry faces the lack of labor
The Anim industry is one of the most important soft power exports of the country within the “Goal Kaban” strategy to promote Japanese culture worldwide. According to an annual report released by the Japanese Anim Association, the industry rose globally to achieve a record of the Japanese market in 2023, with the production of 300 television series.
Artificial intelligence began to emerge as part of this industry. In March 2025, the first artificial intelligence Anim film was launched titled “Twins Hainaima”. Netflix Japanese Views used artificial intelligence in the short film “Doc and Stern” to create wallpapers.
The sector is affected by the crisis in employment as a result of the lack of work conditions. A report published by the Anim and the Cinema Cultural Society in Japan in 2024 shows that workers are under heavy pressure, and their wages are often less than the country’s official minimum wage.
For this purpose, Artificial Intelligence is a solution to filling this defect, says Roland Gallets, anomist and attendance professor at Vesida University in Tokyo. He also says: “The population is declining. There are not many young artists. They get cheap wages for hard work.”
Robots in support of technology, no human alternative
K&K design product studio uses artificial intelligence within its operations, with the exclusive version of the “stimulating teal” model. The company’s vice president Hiroshi Kawakami says that this kind of coloring, creating a background, and converting images and videos into animation, saves a lot of time and effort.
Kawakami says that by introducing two maps in artificial intelligence model, the anime clip of the 5 -Vinadi -Vinadi -Kond -Kond -Kand -Kand -Gond -Gond -Gond Anim Clip can now be manufactured in a single day.
However, although 60% of Japanese artists are concerned about losing their functions in favor of artificial intelligence, Gawgamy confirms that artificial intelligence plays a supportive role, and cannot compensate for human rule or art.
Culture that accepts technology
Studios produce anime work shown in night TV shows, and artificial intelligence can contribute to this product without threatening the creative page.
He explains that the Japanese culture does not see a existential threat, just like some other cultures in artificial intelligence or robots.
“The first hero in the world of Anim in the world – half -man, half robot.”
Hollywood lessons
At the same time, filmmakers around the world suffer from this course, and many have begun to integrate artificial intelligence in their works.
Independent Canadian director Taylor Nixon-Smith, who writes about the impact of artificial intelligence in the film industry, urges CBD chats to create work lists before filming, emphasize the research, but to create a functional contract, but more human intervention.
“I still need a dress designer, buyer buyers, and tailors to describe them to suit the actors.”
As for Charlie Fing, former producer of Disney, the use of this advanced technology will lead to Hollywood “new golden age”, which will be very democratic because the individual can make a film with a simple budget.
Pink believes that the presence of hundreds of people in the production of a living film may change from the past, and further states that artificial intelligence -based events are “completely changing in the coming years.”
These increased threat, opposed the lack of artificial intelligence guarantees in task agreements, prompted Hollywood to attack last year.
Last April, the “No Poke Act” bill was re -planned in the US Congress, which is a law aimed at preventing unauthorized copies as a result of artificial intelligence. He received the support of major companies such as Disney, YouTube, Sock-Afftra and Opanai.
However, the Finch only refers to the “first phase of tragedy”, which emphasizes that the rise of artificial intelligence is inevitable. It is advised to prepare for him instead of opposing: “The turmoil also refers to that opportunity, says the Daich Filler.
