After a lot of futile attempts over the years to tackle the issue of piracy, Japan is now turning to artificial intelligence as the potential solution that could finally put an end to the problem of anime piracy websites like Aniwave.
In the midst of rising concerns about the impact of AI on the anime and manga industry, Japan has been able to discover a promising avenue using AI to develop an automated anti-piracy system.
NHK reported that Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs is all set to make an investment of around 300 million yen which is equal to 2 million USD. This investment will be made to create an AI-driven piracy detection system aiming at tackling the issue of anime piracy.
This innovative system has been designed automatically to identify websites that hold pirated content and streamline the removal process for copyright owners. It will create a major dent in anime piracy in the upcoming years.
Piracy has often been compared to a hydra for every site that has been taken down, many others seem to emerge in its place. The battle against piracy in the anime and manga sectors has intensified as these mediums have gained global popularity.
In the recent reports from Google, it is indicated that companies like Toei Animation and Viz Media have sought the removal of millions of URLs from search results.
The Agency for Cultural Affairs has estimated that a loss of approximately 2 trillion yen has happened because of piracy. Consequently, AI might be the key to the fight against piracy, representing a more strategic approach in this battle.
Although it may take time for the system to be developed and implemented fully, this initiative holds the potential to reduce, if not eliminate anime piracy completely in the years ahead.
