Social media has become a platform for animators to voice concerns about poor working conditions in the anime industry. The Nippon Anime & Film Association (NAFCA) is advocating for government regulation of artificial intelligence in anime to safeguard workers and intellectual property rights. Unregulated AI is seen as a potential threat to both the political and economic stability of the anime sector.
As anime continues to gain global popularity through platforms like Netflix and Crunchyroll, the scrutiny of labor conditions has intensified. NAFCA argues that AI translation can misinterpret original messages, risking violations of authors' moral rights. The association emphasizes the need for regulations to protect workers and intellectual property, especially as AI technologies are increasingly integrated into the industry.
