AI Video Generator Sparks Copyright Chaos
14 Feb
Summary
- A new AI video generator, Seedance 2.0, has been accused of massive copyright infringement.
- The Motion Picture Association is demanding ByteDance cease the AI's infringing activity.
- Filmmakers express concern that AI could soon replace human movie creation entirely.
The newly released AI video generator, Seedance 2.0, has ignited a firestorm of copyright infringement allegations. The Motion Picture Association (MPA) has strongly denounced the tool, stating it has facilitated the massive unauthorized use of U.S. copyrighted works since its availability. The MPA is urging ByteDance, the Chinese company behind Seedance 2.0, to immediately cease its operations.
ByteDance has highlighted Seedance 2.0 as a significant advancement in generation quality, with generated videos, including a notable one featuring AI-generated likenesses of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, rapidly gaining viral traction on social media. This situation echoes past concerns raised by the MPA regarding OpenAI's Sora 2, which prompted OpenAI to implement safeguards.
Some industry professionals express deep apprehension about the rapid progress of AI in filmmaking. Rhett Reese, a writer known for "Deadpool," commented that AI could soon enable a single individual to create a film indistinguishable from current Hollywood productions. This sentiment reflects a broader anxiety within the creative community about the future of filmmaking in the face of increasingly sophisticated AI technology.
