Universal Pictures has issued a legal warning to technology companies, prohibiting the use of its movies for training artificial intelligence (AI) systems without explicit permission. This policy, initiated in June with the live-action film "How to Train Your Dragon," underscores Universal's firm stance against unauthorized AI training on its intellectual property. The move reflects broader tensions in the entertainment and technology sectors regarding AI use, copyright, and creative rights. Meanwhile, the AI industry faces mounting legal challenges, highlighted by the certification of the largest copyright class-action lawsuit, which has raised concerns about the potential chilling effect on AI investment. Some technology companies, including OpenAI, have secured licensing agreements with publishers, while others like Google rely on fair use defenses. Additionally, the integration of AI in Hollywood is transforming storytelling and impacting creative workers' economic conditions. In related developments, AI voice cloning has prompted calls in India's dubbing and voiceover sector for consent, credit, and fair compensation amid a lack of regulatory frameworks. The entertainment industry is also exploring AI-powered technologies, such as robot actors and advanced film rigs, signaling a shift toward AI-driven production methods.
