In a landmark move, major Hollywood studios Disney and Universal have filed a lawsuit against the AI firm Midjourney, accusing it of copyright infringement for using their iconic characters and images without authorization. The studios describe Midjourney as a ‘bottomless pit of plagiarism,’ as the lawsuit claims that the AI tool has generated unauthorized replicas of famous characters from franchises like Star Wars and The Simpsons. This legal action marks a significant escalation in the ongoing debate over artificial intelligence and intellectual property rights, prompting discussions on how the resolution of this case could reshape copyright law in the entertainment industry. Industry experts suggest this lawsuit may establish critical legal precedents as Hollywood grapples with the implications of AI-generated content.
