日本政府近期再次就美国政府在官方社交媒体中使用日本动漫和游戏素材提出交涉。多家日媒称,自今年 3 月以来,日本外务省已多次要求美方停止未经授权使用《马里奥》《宝可梦》《火影忍者》等知名 IP,认为相关做法不适合出现在政府传播内容中。

日方称已多次提出交涉

报道显示,日本外相茂木敏充今年 4 月在国会答询时表示,即便是公共机构,在未获权利人同意的情况下复制受版权保护内容,也并不妥当。他当时提到,一段带有战争宣传色彩的视频中使用了任天堂《Wii Sports》画面。

到 6 月,日本内阁府政务官小野田纪美再次表示,日方已通过外交渠道“多次”向美国传达同样立场。日本方面还要求美方考虑,若将这些知名作品用于政策宣传或战争相关内容,可能对作品形象造成损害。

争议源于多段官方帖文

引发争议的内容并非单一事件。2025 年 9 月,美国国土安全部曾发布一段混剪视频,把《宝可梦》主角小智与美国移民执法画面拼接,并配上动画主题曲。宝可梦公司随后确认,从未授权这段内容。

今年 3 月,白宫 X 账号又发布一段将《Wii Sports》与伊朗空袭画面拼接的视频,随后还发布另一段混入《光环》《游戏王》《龙珠》《壮志凌云》《钢铁侠》《勇敢的心》等素材的宣传片。其后,《游戏王》动画官方账号公开表示,相关使用未经许可;《光环》角色配音演员 Steve Downes 也提出异议。

民间请愿推动事件升级

这场风波并不只停留在官方层面。日本粉丝 Nana Suzuki 曾在 Change.org 发起“保护日本漫画”请愿,呼吁采取措施,阻止美国政府继续挪用日本动漫内容。

6 月,特朗普又在 Truth Social 转发一段 AI 生成视频,将自己塑造成《火影忍者》角色鸣人,争议再次升温。随后,这份请愿被重新发起,日本国会也再次就相关问题向政府追问。

日本对角色和作品形象的知识产权保护一向较严。对东京而言,这类内容不仅是版权问题,也关系到品牌形象是否会因与高度争议的政策宣传绑定而受损。当前争议尚停留在外交交涉层面,并未发展为诉讼,但已成为美方官方传播方式引发的又一项对外摩擦。

Eurozone industrial production fell 0.1% month-on-month in July: Total volume nearly stagnant, while durable goods show a clear weakening
Eurostat released its first estimate on September 16: In July 2026, quarter-on-quarter industrial production in the eurozone declined by 0.1%, and in the EU by 0.3%. Both regions saw a decrease of 0.1% in June. Compared to a year ago, industrial production in the eurozone remained unchanged, while in the EU it grew by 0.3%. The overall change is minimal, appearing almost like a flat line, but there are clear differences among industries: production of energy, capital goods, and intermediate goods increased quarter-on-quarter, whereas the production of durable consumer goods saw a significant decline. European industry has not experienced a widespread downturn, nor has there been a strong expansion.

UK inflation rose to 3.1% in August: Oil prices drive up overall inflation, while core indicators have not accelerated accordingly for now
The Office for National Statistics of the UK announced on September 16 that in August 2026, the Consumer Price Index CPI rose by 3.1% year-on-year, higher than 2.9% in July; the index including the cost of own housing CPIH rose by 3.3% year-on-year, also higher than the previous month's 3.1%. Both indices increased by 0.5% month-on-month, compared to a month-on-month increase of 0.3% in August 2025. The main factor driving annual inflation upwards was transportation, particularly car fuel costs. At the same time, the core CPI remained at 2.6% year-on-year, and the core CPIH also stayed at 2.9%; there was no acceleration in the rise in service prices either. The overall index has rebounded significantly, but the pressure is mainly concentrated on goods and energy.

Google Survey: Scientists Save Nearly 7 Hours per Week Due to AI; After Efficiency Increases, Experiments Become a New Bottleneck
On September 15th, Google updated AI and Economy ATLAS, and announced a study in collaboration with Google DeepMind and MIT FutureTech. The study analyzed 2,600 professional AI models and surveyed over 600 scientists from the United States and the United Kingdom. The results showed that nearly half of the surveyed scientists used some form of AI daily, and they reported saving nearly 7 hours per week as a result. However, the study also found that with the rapid generation of more hypotheses, there was a backlog in physical experiments, clinical validation, and result verification. This conclusion is more comprehensive than the claim that "AI speeds up scientific research": while models can streamline some mental processes, they cannot automate...

OpenAI Testing "Sponsored Agents": Ads No Longer Just Wait for Clicks, but Require Answers in Conversations
On September 16th, OpenAI announced a new round of product updates for ChatGPT Ads, among which Sponsored Agents has drawn the most attention. After seeing the ads, users can proactively enter an agent dialogue sponsored by merchants and clearly labeled with relevant information. There, they can continue to ask questions about size, features, applicable scenarios, etc., before deciding whether to visit the merchants' websites. OpenAI also introduced an ad management plugin, suggestions for copywriting and images, as well as text adaptation features. Additionally, HubSpot and Shopify were integrated into the system. It is important to note that the sponsored agent feature is currently only being tested with some advertisers in the United States and has not yet been fully rolled out to users worldwide or all merchants.
