AI and Blockchain Experts Form “Anime Chain” Preparatory Committee
AI
and blockchain experts in Japan have established the “Anime Chain” Preparatory Committee. It aims to provide a generative AI, including the foundation model exclusively with opt-in training data. Importantly, data legitimacy is ensured through blockchain technology, the announcement said.
Per the blog post, this is in response to current copyright and ethical issues associated with generative AI.
The roadmap consists of three steps. Step 2 will see the use of a token “or similar methods for OSS developers and content creators to circulate, return, and visualize value, and provide financial support for development and production.”
Step 3 will see the creation of a standalone blockchain, and the autonomous decentralization of the management organization.
The committee plans to expand the content ecosystem from the traditional focus on Europe, America, and Asia, to a more global ecosystem. This includes regions such as the Middle East and Africa.
“With the realization of this initiative, we aim to set up a production environment where creators and companies can use generative AI safely and securely, free from copyright and ethical concerns,” the team said.
Also, they want to help resolve the labor shortage in anime production, which is an issue for the entire industry.
This initiative aims to expand the content ecosystem and set up an environment where creators can continually engage in production and maximize their earnings, it said.
“We plan to return the earnings from the content produced by generative AI not only to the creators but also to the rights holders of the training data based on the history of generation recorded on the blockchain.”
