in fact, on this trip alone these companies are announcing over $1 billion of us investments including creating educational opportunities to over 30 million filipinos. a former boeing employee known for raising concerns about the firm's production standards has been found dead in the us. john barnett had worked for boeing for 32 years, until his retirement in 2017. in the days before his death, he had been giving evidence in a whistle—blower lawsuit against the company. boeing said it was saddened to hear of mr barnett�*s passing. the charleston county coroner confirmed his death to the bbc on monday. it said the 62—year—old had died from a "self—inflicted" wound on march the 9th and police were investigating. battle lines are being drawn over the development of artificial intelligence.

nvidia is the latest company to be drawn into a growing body of litigation with three authors in the us suing the chip makerfor using their books to train its nemo ai platform without their permission, according to the three authors. the new york times has also sued openai has also sued openai and microsoft for using its articles to train their language models. plenty to unpack here, let's bring in nikita roy — these authors are alleging that nvidia use their intellectual property because, as a result, they should be compensated for this. they also allege that nvidia knowingly use the data and infringe on copyright and seeking a class action lawsuit to allow other affected writers to allow other affected writers to join the battle against

nvidia because they see that they are not benefiting through how nvidia is going to be using in producing these models and not getting any cut or share from the business that they will be getting from here. given that al is suing, there's a leavell president, is there —— there is no? a leavell president, is there -- there is no?— -- there is no? exactly. because _ -- there is no? exactly. because there - -- there is no? exactly. because there is - -- there is no? exactly. because there is no - -- there is no? exactly. l because there is no legal president, we do not know how technologies are involving and we do not know what copyright law looks like. that's why all of these lawsuits that are coming against nvidia, open ai, microsoft — it's so crucial because it defines what the copyright laws look like. it's going to have a lot of consequences because we will know what it will look like, the extent to which this can influence the copyright laws of

intellectual property and what does that mean for the work of authors who are producing original content.— authors who are producing original content. what does it mean if you — original content. what does it mean if you don't _ original content. what does it mean if you don't following i mean if you don't following with those trains of thought to get the idea the implication about generative ai from media and other creative industries? against tech companies they would be able to get a share of the training that was done because of this data. they would be getting an extra sort of revenue stream, but if the ruling goes in favour of the tech companies which a lot of people aren't arguing it might be because it could be seen as fair use, that would have a lot of implications on the way content is produced, distributed and monetise. it could really affect the business model of these creators if you're able to get a summary of a book or be able to chat with the bookjust by

going onto these platforms. more than two decades after winning his first oscar, the man who is known as the godfather of animation has done it again. hayao miyazak won for best animated feature film for the boy and the heron, with the win reflecting the growing popularity ofjapanese anime. the market was estimated to be worth a little over $30 billion in 2023 and is expected to double in value by 2030. streaming platforms are trying to keep up with the demand, with hulu, netflix and amazon and disney+ all investing in anime titles. further, i spoke to roland, the author of japanese further, i spoke to roland, the author ofjapanese america, who author of japanese america, who told author ofjapanese america, who told me of the internet played a huge role in all this. the internet — a huge role in all this. the internet has _ a huge role in all this. the internet has had _ a huge role in all this. the internet has had a - a huge role in all this. the internet has had a lot - a huge role in all this. the internet has had a lot to i a huge role in all this. tue: internet has had a lot to do with it. anime has had our growing popularity for decades. fans all over the world. it's very hard to find for many

years. you have to find in the back of comic shops and video stores. eventually, it would show up on cable television. the internet has really accelerated the spread of anime. it's important to note that the fandom for anime is largely demand driven, with few exceptions. japanese companies have not done much to promote their wares overseas. it's fans to come to anime._ to come to anime. screaming networks _ to come to anime. screaming networks are _ to come to anime. screaming networks are jumping - to come to anime. screaming networks are jumping on - to come to anime. screaming. networks are jumping on board networks arejumping on board —— streaming networks. it's no longerjustjapan —— streaming networks. it's no longer just japan that's getting involved in this content. do you think this will change how anime moves forward? i don't know. co productions between hollywood and chinese companies and anime studios and companies and anime studios and companies in india and companies in india and companies in india and companies in southeast asia — those have been happening for quite a few years. they are spreading now. there are more more of them. but the fan base

is quite particular and quite in some ways provincial, and what i mean by that is if it's called anime but it's not made injapan byjapanese called anime but it's not made injapan by japanese artist, called anime but it's not made injapan byjapanese artist, a lot of fans turn away. and i don't know how long that will last, but it may be comparable to i suppose bollywood. hollywood is made in india or at least made by artists from india, and if it's not, i don't know if people are comfortable calling it bollywood. you could have a project that imitates anime style orjapanese—style anime style or japanese—style visually anime style orjapanese—style visually and in storytelling, but a lot of fans turn away if it's not made injapan! they don't want to call it anime. mongolia is a country that relies on that

relies on traditional industries like farming and mining, but the government is keen to diversify the economy. we caught up with one project that hopes to shore up the number of women going into tech. high—speed positions are all paid by men —— high—speed positions are filled by men. with that in mind, i started girls coding back in 2021. with 30 girls from countries out of mongolia who do not know they have access to internet. and the result has been encouraging, inspiring, it was everything that we did not expect. now we have 80 graduates and from the 80 graduates, we have about ten girls who went to prestigious universities. many girls are working as part—time coders as well as studying or working on different things. most

importantly, these girls became a platform. they helped each other, the mentor each other, they inspire each other, they encourage each other. we want to extend this programme for not only mongolia, but many merchant markets and developing countries where girls are discouraged to pursue stem education, where girls are left out of digital development. we really need to look at educational system traditionally. do not encourage girls to go to their full potential unfortunately. we have to change that. but when we talk about girls, it's just meaning to create equal opportunity for both genders, not to upscale boys. it's to pursue the education they want.

just in general, for al, it's very important that younger generation, government, international organisations understand the capacity of what ai can do and use it for the benefit of humanity rather than the negative detrimental impacts. a regulatory filing shows social media company reddit is hoping for a 46.1; billion valuation when its shares go public in the us next week this is far less than the 10 billion it was valued at in 2021. the listing of reddit, which has never made a profit, is one of the market's most highly—anticipated ipos. that is it for this addition of asia business report. i will checkin asia business report. i will check in and about an hour's time.
