The popularity of ByteDance Seedance 2.0 has attracted much attention. According to a report by Japan’s Kyodo News Agency on February 13,At a press conference after the cabinet meeting on the 13th, Japanese AI Strategy Minister Kimi Onoda stated that "there are concerns about copyright infringement and inappropriate images" surrounding the Chinese-funded AI video generation model service. Some people pointed out that the service can freely generate videos using Japanese anime characters, etc. She said that "we will quickly understand the actual situation (of the service)" and revealed that the government intends to launch an investigation..
The AI video generation model is Seedance 2.0 developed by ByteDance, which operates the short video app TikTok.
Onoda stated that he was aware of the actual situation of the spread and emphasized that if crops are being used without the permission of the copyright owner, they cannot turn a blind eye.
She also said that she would also communicate with ByteDance and work hard to improve the matter. Regarding generative AI, in addition to the above-mentioned services, other services also use existing characters or real people to create images or videos without permission, which has become a social problem.
According to media reports, The Walt Disney Company sent a letter to ByteDance on Friday local time, accusing the other party of using Disney works without permission when training and developing the Seedance 2.0 model, and requiring ByteDance to "stop infringement and not do it again."
Disney alleged in the letter that ByteDance’s Seedance server had a pre-installed pirated material library containing Disney’s copyrighted characters, involving multiple IPs such as “Star Wars” and Marvel.
