The Japanese organization Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA) – on behalf of member companies like Studio Ghibli and Square Enix creating anime and video games – has formally requested OpenAI avoid unauthorized use of its IP in the Sora 2 AI video generator.

In a written request CODA sent to OpenAI on October 27 and publicly announced on October 28 (noticed by Automaton), the organization says it "considers that the act of replication during the machine learning process may constitute copyright infringement."
