Studio Ghibli-backed content group asks OpenAI to stop using copyrighted content for Sora 2 AI model

A major Japanese trade organisation, representing top publishers including Studio Ghibli, has formally requested OpenAI to stop using their copyrighted animated content in training its AI models. The Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA) raised concerns that OpenAI’s AI platform, Sora 2, produces content closely resembling Japanese works, violating copyright laws.
