A U.S. District Court has ruled that Tesla and Warner Bros. can proceed with a legal defense against some copyright infringement claims made by Alcon Entertainment, the production company behind 'Blade Runner 2049.' The lawsuit alleges that Tesla misused imagery from the film during a promotional event for its autonomous Cybercab. Judge George Wu's ruling allows Tesla and Warner Bros. to dismiss certain claims while permitting others to move forward. This legal battle centers on the use of AI-generated images inspired by the film, which has raised questions about copyright in the context of artificial intelligence.
