Japanese lawmakers recently discussed the copyright implications of AI-generated images inspired by Studio Ghibli during a House of Representatives Cabinet Committee meeting. Strategy Officer Nakahara Hirohiko stated that current copyright laws do not protect mere styles or ideas unless they are deemed creative expressions. This means that while AI-generated images may bear resemblance to Studio Ghibli's work, the determination of copyright infringement ultimately lies in the courts, especially if the generated content is found to closely mimic original works.
The copyright laws in Japan do not protect styles and ideas by themselves or that aren't considered creative expressions, according to Nakahara Hirohiko.
If the content generated by AI is 'found' to be similar to or dependent on existing works, this might constitute copyright infringement.
