Tesla and Elon Musk Hit with Copyright Infringement Suit Over AI-Generated 'Blade Runner 2049' Content

Tesla and Elon Musk are facing a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by Alcon Entertainment following their recent We, Robot event. The lawsuit claims that Tesla illegally showcased AI-generated images inspired by the film 'Blade Runner 2049' without proper authorization. Alcon expressed concerns over associating its work with Musk due to his controversial public behavior. Despite initially requesting permission to use the film's material, Tesla proceeded with the presentation, which highlighted innovations like the Cybercab and Robovan. The case raises significant questions about intellectual property rights in the age of AI.
