Recent developments in the technology sector have drawn attention to both artificial intelligence-generated content and the competitive landscape of Chinese tech companies. Reports indicate a significant reaction within the Hollywood film industry following the release of AI-generated videos depicting actors Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in a simulated fight.
The videos, which quickly circulated online, have sparked concern regarding the potential misuse of AI technology and its implications for actors’ likenesses and intellectual property rights. News outlets, including 조선일보, 연합뉴스, and 뉴시스, have reported on the widespread circulation of these AI-generated depictions.
Meanwhile, China’s ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, has released a new large language model (LLM) named “Doubao,” adding to the growing competition in the AI sector. This launch follows previous controversies surrounding ByteDance, referred to as the ‘Sidance shock’ by some reports, and underscores the company’s continued investment in AI technology. v.daum.net details the release of the new model.
In Japan, concerns are rising over the use of AI-powered video applications, with reports of copyright infringement. A single image is reportedly sufficient for these applications to generate videos, prompting concerns from Japanese stakeholders. 마켓인 reported on the issue.
These developments highlight the rapidly evolving landscape of AI technology and the challenges it presents to various industries, including entertainment and intellectual property. The increasing sophistication of AI-generated content is prompting discussions about regulation and the protection of creative rights.
