Elon Musk, Tesla, and Warner Bros. Discovery are facing a copyright infringement lawsuit for using a still from the movie "Blade Runner 2049" and recreating the scene using AI technology to promote Tesla's Robotaxi, despite the makers' denial of permission.
U.S. film production company Alcon Entertainment, helmed by Frederick W. Smith, filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, naming Musk-owned Tesla and Warner Bros. Discovery as defendants. The lawsuit, reported by the New York Times, cited grievances against Musk's Oct. 10 launch event of Tesla's self-driving robotaxi "Cybercab" where the business mogul allegedly showcased "A.I.-created images mirroring scenes from "Blade Runner 2049," including one featuring a Ryan Gosling look-alike," the lawsuit read.
