Twice BLOW
For designers, this is a devastating dual blow.  , Some feel that their job is , being taken to create the very instruments that next threaten to their lives. According to a survey conducted by the Arts Workers Japan Association last year, 92 % of illustrators feared that their designs were being removed to train AI tools without their permission. Almost 60 per cent of responders were likewise concerned about , fewer job opportunities.
Some of the most well-known Japanese characters now appear to have been incorporated into AI training data. Social media has become flooded with synthetic versions of them, including machine-gun wielding Hello Kitties or body-builder Pikachus. And a kills of open-source AI designs have enabled almost anyone to teach tools based on pictures they send from their favorite artists, producing content that resembles that type.
And it’s not just still craft. Earlier this year, OpenAI teased a first look at its film tool, Sora, rocking the business. Filmmaker Tyler Perry said he halted a planned US$ 800 million development of his workshop in Atlanta after seeing Sora’s “mind-blowing” features. OpenAI, meanwhile, has n’t formally shared details of what information it was trained on.
When asked if videos from YouTube were used, Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati  responded to questions in an exam earlier this year, saying,” I’m really not sure about that.”  , A few months afterwards, Murati took temperature for , admitting,  , more inelegantly, that” some innovative jobs probably will go away”. ( She later defended this remark in a lengthy X , post ).  ,
However, these statements from the most powerful CTOs in the AI industry should be alarming because they are n’t transparent about the materials being used to train its resources and for their open acknowledgment that this technology will have an impact on the jobs of artists.  , OpenAI announced it was launching , its second Asia company in Tokyo earlier this year, with some suggesting Japan’s hands-off rules playing a part in that choice.  ,
