Oasys, a public blockchain that specializes in gaming, and AnimeChain, an L3 blockchain built using Arbitrum Orbit technology, have come together to protect anime intellectual property (IP) from unauthorized use by any artificial intelligence (AI).
Main Aim of this Partnership
In this collaboration, Oasys will be providing the security expertise while AnimeChain will focus and look after the AI and creative industries to address the issue. With this collaboration, innovative blockchain-based solutions are being anticipated that would let creator have control over their work.
This comes at a critical time as generative AI technologies are increasingly replicating the artistic styles without any authorization, which has raised concerns about ethical and legal implications.
AnimeChain Highlights Importance of Rewarding Creators
Shuhei Mise, General Manager of AnimeChain FZCO, has highlighted the importance of rewarding the creators who contribute to AI learning processes while making sure that their rights are safe and secure. These efforts are in line with AnimeChain’s vision of decentralizing IPs to promote fans and creators globally.
Ghiblification or Exploitation of Artistic Rights?
The best example in recent news for this situation would be the Ghibli animations that are being copied by AI. Studio Ghibli’s unique and aesthetic animation style is being copied by AI. One side of the community thinks that the art generated by the AI is a tribute to its creator Hayao Miyazaki, whereas the other side of the community is raising concerns about copyrights and ownership. This also ignites the ongoing debate of AI replacing humans and their artistic skills.
Big Step Forward
This partnership is a big step forward in combining technology with art. This incident with Ghibli Studio highlights the need to protect creativity in a world where everything and everybody is going digital.
This collaboration is set to make such a great difference in the world of art and this initiative also indicates the importance of balancing innovation with ethical practices in today’s time.
