I’ve often wondered how differing copyright rules and protections across the globe might impact AI. The Financial Times has an interesting write-up on how Japan is skirting international copyright rules to become a leading destination for AI startups.

This is an interesting counter to the EU, which has been a regulation hawk on AI, to the extent that both Apple and Meta have decided to delay the release of key AI features in their member countries.

In a world where, as Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang aptly put it: “While some worry that AI may take their jobs, someone who’s expert with AI will,” this sentiment applies equally to businesses. Those businesses that learn to harness AI will create a competitive advantage that could make the difference between thriving and merely surviving in the coming years.
