The estate of legendary comedian George Carlin has secured a victory in a groundbreaking legal battle against AI-generated content. Podcasters behind the controversial 'George Carlin: I’m Glad I’m Dead' special agreed to permanently remove the AI-created project and avoid using Carlin's likeness without permission. 🛑
Carlin's daughter, Kelly Carlin, called the settlement a 'warning' about AI risks: 'Artists deserve protection—and so does every human.' The special, which claimed to mimic Carlin's style using 50 years of his material, sparked fury among fans and legal experts alike. ⚖️
This case could set a precedent as creators and tech clash over AI's role in art. Could this be the start of a new era in digital copyright? 💡 Stay tuned.
