But now OpenAI is facing the heat from the Japanese anime creators who have written a letter to the AI company warning it about using their licensed content to train their AI models. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">We\u2019ve seen images being generated using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/ghibli-ai-on-chatgpt-is-passe-now-make-your-own-ai-action-figures-9297442.html\">Studio Ghibli and other anime style prompts<\/a>, and now Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA), the body working with these creators has raised concerns about OpenAI using the content to train its AI video models for Sora as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">You could say why didn\u2019t CODA and the creators raise the flag when people were generating Studio Ghibli style images. But it does feel like the value and damages caused by generating videos will be far higher.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Don\u2019t Use Our Content<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The creator body has mentioned in its letter that use of the licensed content was not ideal and has requested OpenAI to stop using the anime to train its Sora 2 video generation model. In addition to this, CODA has sought a reply from the company about allegations of using copyright material that has been executed with the Sora 2 platform. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And these concerns have borne out of the alleged confirmation that a lot of content generated by Sora resemble these anime characters and other Japanese content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Bending The Rules<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The body also claims that OpenAI has changed the rules for AI training and instead of going with an opt-out feature, it now does more of an opt-in policy which is not acceptable in Japan. The rules define that prior permission is needed before companies like OpenAI use content from Japanese creators and they cannot bypass this as per the country\u2019s copyright norms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">OpenAI is yet to respond and with so much happening in the last few weeks, the company will need to give the answers at the earliest and we are eager to see how Sam Altman and Co. tackle this situation. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"S Aadeetya\" title=\"S Aadeetya\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-3111427708 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>November 05, 2025, 12:34 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-3111427708 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Studio Ghibli And Other Anime Creators Warn OpenAI About Using Their Videos For AI<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
