- Hollywood writer Rhett Reese warns that AI could make traditional filmmaking obsolete after seeing an AI-generated clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt fighting.
- The clip was created using Seedance 2.0, an AI video generator by ByteDance, with just a two-line prompt.
- The Motion Picture Association (MPA) accuses ByteDance of unauthorized use of copyrighted material on a massive scale.
- AI tools are trained on data from the web, including copyrighted works, leading to demands for compensation and licensing frameworks.
- MPA CEO Charles Rivkin calls on ByteDance to stop infringing activities, citing risks to creators' rights and jobs.
- UK peer Beeban Kidron urges AI companies to strike deals with the creative industries to avoid prolonged litigation and industry damage.
