Interview with Shuhei Mise - Developing the anime economy with AI and blockchain, aiming for a world where creators can create freely

What do you think about the current state of the Web 3.0 field?

Shuhei Mise (hereinafter, Mise): I think that the very fact that the term Web 3.0 was coined is proof that since Satoshi Nakamoto's paper in October 2008, there has been steady development, including technological advances and public awareness. Following Bitcoin, which was a simple means of storing value, the birth of Ethereum built a foundation for people who share the same values ​​to create their own economic sphere through tokens and NFTs.

However, I still think that mass adoption will take time. I think that the reasons for this are that the technological foundation is still insufficient, there is a lack of knowledge to apply technology to business, and the development of laws to support it has not kept up.

I think it will take some time because it is necessary to create services that generate enough enthusiasm to create killer content and a unique economic sphere, to further develop laws to support this, and to cultivate the discerning eyes of users who can identify good projects.

Utilizing AI to contribute to the development and spread of anime culture

What kind of appeal do you want to deliver through your company's projects and services, and what do you want to achieve?

Mise: Animechain.ai aims to further develop the anime economy by making full use of AI and blockchain technology. The current supply and demand balance in the anime industry is out of whack, and ingenuity is required on the demand and supply sides. We will build a token economy on the blockchain, create a mechanism to directly supply funds from the demand side to the supply side, and provide a mechanism to utilize AI to make supply more efficient.

The use of existing AI technology is problematic due to psychological resistance to copyright infringement and unauthorized learning. In response to this, Animechain.ai develops AI models that use only clean data authorized by copyright holders, enabling even higher quality character designs and background creation. This will lower the psychological barrier to using AI and create an environment where creators can enjoy the benefits of AI.

We also use blockchain to prove that only clean data is used, and we are building a mechanism to give back to data providers and those who contributed to model creation. The introduction of the new digital asset "AIRA (AI Rights Ass et)" and ANIMA token will increase the chances of inflow of funds from the demand side and visualize the management and return rate of the model used in the production of the work.

This will continuously provide data to the AI ​​model, which will continue to evolve and allow creators to focus on more creative work, promoting the revitalization of the entire anime industry. Animechain.ai will contribute to the development and spread of anime culture by reducing the barriers to anime production through technological innovation and creating an environment where creators around the world can express themselves freely.
