washingtonpost.com/entertainment/2024/04/03/george-carlin-ai-comedy-lawsuit-settlement/
Quick Glance: George Carlin Estate Triumphs Over AI Version
- An agreement has been reached between the George Carlin estate and Dudesy, the podcast that allegedly used a "comedy AI" to produce an hour-long stand-up special in the style and voice of the late comedian.
- Irrespective of the actual author of the special, Dudesy was also criticized in the lawsuit for leveraging the name, reputation, and likeness of George Carlin to create, promote, and distribute the special.
- Joshua Schiller, attorney for the Carlin estate, viewed the settlement as a victory for any "artist or public figure whose rights were violated by AI technology" and called for stricter regulation of AI software companies.
- According to court documents, Dudesy had taken prompt actions to remove the special and any references to Carlin from all online accounts after the lawsuit was filed. The settlement prohibits the Dudesy podcast (and those associated with it) from reposting the special and from using "George Carlin’s image, voice, or likeness" in any online content.

The US is right to target TikTok : Chinese control of a powerful ‘persuasive AI’ tool cannot be tolerated
ft.com/content/69caf324-2ac0-4b53-a0b4-1f2ecae6e29e
Quick Glance: The US is right to target TikTok
- The US House of Representatives in March overwhelmingly passed a bill to force divestiture of TikTok from its Chinese parent.
- This TikTok divestiture is about preventing a foreign adversary from controlling a platform to deploy what I call “persuasive AI”.
- TikTok is a tool that has proven so valuable that ByteDance is spending money hand over fist on an intimidation campaign.
- The proposed legislation targets TikTok’s foreign ownership, not its content, and does not violate the First Amendment of the US constitution.
