The Development of AI and the Difficulty for Influencers and Creators to Send Out Information

With the rapid evolution of AI technology, we are now accelerating toward a future singularity.

However, in the midst of this evolution, influencers and creators are facing the problem of AI abuse. This is a challenge arising from AI's ability to learn and repurpose content.

The reality is that Japanese law and existing social media platforms have difficulty dealing with this new threat.

This is because there is no legal framework or regulations in place for AI learning and scraping.

In particular, there is often no discussion on how AI learning content itself should be legally handled.

Against this backdrop, there is a need to develop new social media platforms.

Oneup" is designed not only to address "right-click-to-save," but also to effectively address indiscriminate scraping. This provides influencers and creators with the means to properly protect their content and safeguard it from unauthorized use.

We want to create a place where influencers and creators can express themselves in peace.

We are keeping a close eye on the evolution of AI technology in today's society, and at the same time, we are seriously addressing the problems that this evolution causes.

We feel a responsibility to improve the situation where influencers and creators are suffering from abuse by AI.

Rapid advances in AI technology are moving us toward a future singularity.

But in the midst of this evolution, it is becoming increasingly difficult for content creators to protect their rights.

Existing legal frameworks are inadequate to deal with AI learning and scraping, and new approaches are needed.

We are on a mission to develop and provide a new forum for dissemination that not only addresses content abuse, but also indiscriminate scraping. We believe that "Oneup" can provide an environment where creators can protect and share their work with confidence.

Oneup's goal is to create a system where content creators and the users that surround them can coexist and thrive. We are moving forward into the future by creating a safe and fair online community. We are prepared to spare no effort to earn the trust of our creators and users.
