AB  - Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs published this English-language account of the country's copyright position on AI in May 2024. It explains how Article 30-4 of the Japanese Copyright Act permits AI training on copyright-protected works without rightsholder authorisation, and sets out the threshold for copyright protection in AI outputs (human creative expression, not mere prompting or ideas). Japan's regime is the most permissive among G7 nations, making this the essential primary text for the comparative IP framing that animation educators need when teaching the global landscape.
