Japan Plans to Use Artificial Intelligence to Combat Online Manga and Animation Piracy
The Japanese government recently announced a plan to utilize artificial intelligence technology to combat online manga and animation piracy. According to data from the Tokyo Bureau of Cultural Affairs, there are currently at least 1,000 websites illegally offering free downloads of Japanese manga and animation. These sites are accused of causing losses of billions of dollars to Japan's cultural industry each year. To address this issue, the Japanese government has proposed a pilot program totaling 300 million yen (approximately 2 million USD). This program will implement an image and text detection system, leveraging artificial intelligence technology to surveil the internet.
