ByteDance restricts AI Seedance 2.0 after Hollywood pressure
TL;DR
ByteDance limits AI Seedance 2.0 following complaints from Hollywood studios. Concerns over copyright infringement have prompted these changes.
ByteDance, the company behind TikTok, has decided to limit the use of its AI Seedance 2.0 after complaints from Hollywood studios. The tool, which creates realistic videos using images from films and actors, raised legal concerns regarding copyright.
The AI faced criticism for its ability to reproduce movie scenes and actors' appearances with high fidelity. This led to risks of lawsuits, particularly from major studios like Disney, which has already sent a formal notice demanding the technology be halted.
Organizations such as the Motion Picture Association and the SAG-AFTRA union expressed concerns about the unauthorized use of copyrighted materials. Disney was the first to take formal action, highlighting the need to protect its characters and properties.
Although ByteDance announced changes, there are no details yet on what restrictions will be implemented. The company emphasized its commitment to respecting intellectual property rights.
This case illustrates the growing challenge of regulating AI use in content creation, especially regarding copyright. The industry's focus must remain on how these technologies will be regulated in the future.
