India, Nov. 4 -- A group representing several major Japanese content creators, including Studio Ghibli, has asked OpenAI to stop using their copyrighted content for training artificial intelligence systems. The request came from the Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA), which sent a formal letter to OpenAI last week, according to a report by TechCrunch.

CODA, which represents publishers and studios in Japan, stated that OpenAI's image and video tools appear to replicate creative works without consent. The group said that under Japan's copyright law, using copyrighted content for AI training requires prior permission, and there is no provision that allows avoiding liability through later objections.
