Christian Simonds and Henry Birkbeck, members of Reed Smith’s Entertainment & Media industry group, explain why AI creators have to be transparent about where and how they used generative AI, if they want copyright protection for their creations.
They acknowledge that the Writers Guild of America strike of 2023 was partly a response to threats that AI-assisted scriptwriting would force living writers out of their jobs. Simonds and Birkbeck go in depth about the consent involved in using AI-generated replicas of actors and cover many other topics.
