Japan is experiencing a transformative phase in the realm of AI-generated video content creation, particularly concerning an AI software named "Sora". Faced with a perplexing clash over copyright terms, developers are planning major modifications to turn the tide. Though the specifics of the change are undisclosed, this step confirms the growing significance and the challenging legal terrain of AI applications in Japan's creative industries.

Japan holds an impressive legacy in technology and AI, and the advancement of AI-generated video content could potentially revolutionize the Japanese media industry. However, the existing copyright laws are not fully equipped to address AI-created content, leading to several controversies. These issues are not only significant for the tech industry but also have broader societal implications, considering the importance of creator's rights and fair use policies in the nation's legal landscape.

In contrast, the US and the EU have been active in reformulating their copyright laws to accommodate AI-generated content, albeit with ongoing debates. The US Copyright Office previously classified AI as a 'tool' rather than a 'creator', limiting assigned copyright to human creators. Meanwhile, the EU is exploring the need for a specific legal status for AI, recognizing its potential as an autonomous entity.
