On a global scale, Japan’s move adds a twist to the regulation debate. Current discussions have focused on a “rogue nation” scenario where a less developed country might disregard a global framework to gain an advantage. But with Japan, we see a different dynamic. The world’s third-largest economy is saying it won’t hinder AI research and development. Plus, it’s prepared to leverage this new technology to compete directly with the West.

    The US copyright and trademark laws state that a work only has to be 10% differentiated from the original in order to be legal to use

    I’m pretty sure the law doesn’t say that. The Blurred Lines copyright case for example was far less than 10%. Probably less than 1%, and it was still unclear if it was infringement or not - it took five years of lawsuits to come to a conclusion. Which was a split decision - the first court found it to be infringing then an appeals panel of judges reached a split decision where the majority of them found it to be non-infringing, so even after five years there wasn’t a clear ruling on wether or not it was copyright infringement.

    Copyright is incredibly complex and unclear.
