Nintendo has denied reports that it has been lobbying Japanese lawmakers against generative AI, insisting it «has not had any contact with the Japanese government» about the highly controversial emerging tech.
The denial comes after Japanese politician Satoshi Asano posted an apology on social media after claiming Nintendo was lobbying the Japanese government. This was followed by a further apology earlier today, after which Satoshi deleted the original post.
While the megacorp typically declines to comment on speculation, on this occasion Nintendo was keen to shoot the rumour down and stressed that while it was not lobbying, «whether generative AI is involved or not, we will continue to take necessary actions against infringement of our intellectual property rights».
