AI Governance & Creative Integrity Policy

1. Purpose

AI Creators (the “Platform”) treats generative AI not merely as a production tool, but as a foundational infrastructure for designing, implementing, and validating creative structures.

This Policy establishes the governance framework, principles of creative integrity, and contractual and rights-related foundations that govern collaboration among enterprises, researchers, and AI creators utilizing the Platform.

1-2. Position of the Operating Entity

The Platform functions as a foundation for facilitating creative collaboration and, depending on the nature and structure of a given project, may act as a contracting party or assume a coordinating or supervisory role.

For each project, contractual relationships, allocation of responsibilities, and role definitions shall be clearly specified in a separate written agreement governing the relevant project.

2. Scope of Application

This Policy applies to all deliverables, materials, submissions, proposals, prototypes, works in progress, research outputs, and related content made available on or through the Platform, whether public or private, as well as to the processes of their creation and operation.

This Policy also applies to collaborative projects conducted through the Platform by participating enterprises, researchers, and creators.

2-2. Definitions and Roles

Within the Platform ecosystem, AI-related roles may be understood as follows:

AI Developer: An entity that develops or improves AI models or systems.
AI Provider: An entity that integrates AI into services or products and provides them to users.
AI User: An entity that utilizes AI systems or services in the course of business activities.

Participants may simultaneously assume multiple roles.

3. Human-Centered Creative Principle

Generative AI is treated as a supplementary instrument. Concept development, structural design, editorial judgment, and final decision-making remain the responsibility of human actors.

Deliverables created through the Platform may involve, where appropriate, the following creative and evaluative processes:

  • Concept development and articulation of creative intent
  • Research and validation of structural and world-building frameworks
  • Prompt engineering and optimization of generative conditions
  • Selection, comparison, editing, and recomposition of outputs
  • Integrated use of multiple AI tools and models
  • Experimental generation and iterative validation processes
  • Manual editing, compositing, refinement, and final determination

Deliverables produced through these processes are treated not as purely automated outputs, but as expressions reflecting human creative contribution and research-based judgment.

With respect to the relationship between generative AI and copyright, the Platform operates in accordance with applicable laws and references materials published by relevant authorities, including the Agency for Cultural Affairs of Japan.

4. Clarification of Rights and Contractual Terms (Project Principles)

For each relevant project, the following matters shall be agreed upon in advance and clearly defined in written documentation (including contracts, purchase orders, or memoranda of understanding):

  • Ownership and allocation of intellectual property rights (including moral rights, where applicable)
  • Scope of use (media, duration, territory, secondary use, sublicensing rights, etc.)
  • Credit attribution, confidentiality obligations, and publication conditions
  • Scope of generative AI usage (tools used, input data, treatment of outputs, etc.)

Use without a separate written agreement governing the relevant project, or use beyond the agreed scope—including secondary use, modification, or redistribution—is not permitted.

5. Consideration for Training Data, Input Data, and Third-Party Rights

The Platform complies with the terms of service of AI tools utilized and with applicable laws and regulations, and does not engage in activities intended to infringe upon third-party rights.

Handling of confidential information, personal data, and third-party protected materials shall be managed through appropriate measures—such as input restrictions, anonymization, and access control—based on the characteristics of the relevant project.

6. Transparency and Explainability

In collaboration with enterprises, researchers, and creators, the Platform maintains the ability, within reasonable limits, to clarify:

  • The fact that generative AI is used and the scope of such use
  • The general production process (including structural design, editing, and validation approaches)
  • The capabilities, limitations, and underlying assumptions of deliverables, where appropriate

6-2. Allocation of Responsibility

Final decision-making authority and responsibility for publication with respect to each project shall be borne by the party or parties designated in the separate written agreement governing the relevant project.

The Platform shall provide reasonable cooperation and information, within appropriate limits, to support clarification and transparency.

7. Safety, Fairness, Privacy, and Security (Risk-Based Approach)

The Platform adopts a risk-based approach proportionate to the scale and likelihood of potential risks and conducts reviews and adjustments as necessary.

The Platform is committed to avoiding discriminatory or biased use, protecting privacy, and maintaining appropriate security standards.

8. Prohibition of AI Training and Dataset Extraction

Unless expressly agreed in advance, the following uses of deliverables, submissions, materials, and prototypes made available on the Platform are strictly prohibited:

  • Machine learning, model training, or dataset construction
  • Embedding generation, scraping, crawling, automated collection, or redistribution
  • Any analogous secondary use intended for analysis or re-distribution

9. Fair Competition, Education, and Innovation

The Platform values the promotion of participant education and AI literacy, the maintenance of a fair competitive environment, and the advancement of innovation through practical implementation.

10. Response to Violations and Misuse

In cases of violations of this Policy, infringement of rights, reputational harm, or dissemination of false information, the Platform may take appropriate measures depending on the circumstances, including:

  • Requests for removal or suspension of use
  • Investigation of usage history and relevant facts
  • Requests for corrective action
  • Consideration of legal measures where necessary
  • Claims for damages where harm has occurred

11. Inquiries

This Policy sets forth common principles for collaboration and does not override individual agreements or project-specific contracts.

For inquiries relating to projects conducted through the Platform, or projects for which AI Creators acts as the contracting or supervising entity, please contact the designated inquiry channel below.

For matters arising from contracts concluded directly between participants, or for issues relating to external AI tools or service providers, please contact the relevant parties or providers directly.

12. Alignment with External Guidelines

This Policy references and aligns, where appropriate, with the common principles set forth in the “AI Business Guidelines” published by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, including principles relating to human-centered design, safety, fairness, privacy protection, security, transparency, accountability, education and literacy, fair competition, and innovation.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan.

Any disputes arising in connection with the Platform shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court as the court of first instance.

This Policy may be amended from time to time as necessary.
