The Japan Academic Association for Copyright Clearance (JAC), in collaboration with RightsDirect Japan, announced the availability of artificial intelligence (AI) re-use rights within the Digital Copyright License (DCL), an enterprise-wide content licensing solution offering rights from millions of works to businesses.
The JAC DCL enables companies based in Japan to share and store content internally within their organizations and simplifies efforts to comply with copyright laws. The inclusion of AI re-use rights makes this license the leading collective licensing solution for the internal use of copyrighted materials in AI systems for companies based in Japan.
“Surveys indicate that knowledge workers across industries are adopting AI tools and using them with published content for a variety of tasks such as summarization, information extraction, and automated reviews, in the absence of an appropriate license, these activities create the potential for copyright infringement risk.”
– Toshimichi Ishijima, Secretary General, Japan Academic Association for Copyright Clearance
The license provides companies with an efficient way to legally acquire the rights to use copyrighted materials within AI systems for internal uses. The Digital Copyright License also provides rights not normally included in subscription agreements across a wide range of publishers, academic societies, and other copyright holders around the world covering works published in English, Japanese, and many other languages.
