Apparently, there has been some interesting discourse in Japan with Ken Akamatsu. If you remember, he was the mangaka, and free expression advocate (though, also a bit of a copyright advocate for better or worse) who got elected to Japan's upper house, the House of Councilors, last year as part of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.

He appears to be looking into commercial AI art. I'm not sure how practical it would be in practice (it could be quite burdensome), however, he wants to figure out how to compensate artists who created works in the training sets (one idea is to take a cut of the proceeds and to put it in a shared fund to be dispensed).

Frankly, I think AI art is less interesting than manually drawn art, especially when you've seen enough of it.

He also suggests that we must be vigilant for attempts to push for restrictions on expression and to vigorously oppose them.
