Hollywood accuses Chinese AI Seedance of massive infringement

Built by TikTok owner ByteDance, Seedance 2.0 has produced scenes widely shared online, including Tom Cruise brawling with Brad Pitt or dozens of different combinations of lifelike stars from superhero movies and video games, some of them watched millions of times.

Bytedance’s new AI “operates without meaningful safeguards against infringement” and “should immediately cease”, MPA boss Charles Rivkin– representing heavyweights like Disney, Universal, Warner and Netflix — said in a statement published overnight from Thursday to Friday.

Seedance 2.0 is for now only available as a limited test version in China.

That has not kept Hollywoodesque imagery from piling up in social media users’ feeds.

Agence France-Presse (AFP) is a French international news agency headquartered in Paris, France. Founded in 1835 as Havas, it is the world's oldest news agency.
