Disney and Paramount allege that Seedance 2.0 is distributing and reproducing their intellectual property.
ByteDance has said it will work to strengthen safeguards on a new AI video-making tool, following copyright concerns and legal threats from Hollywood.
ByteDance has said it is working “to prevent the unauthorised use of intellectual property” by users of its new AI tool Seedance 2.0, after complaints from studios and Hollywood industry groups. In a statement to the BBC, ByteDance said it “respects intellectual property rights and we have heard the concerns regarding Seedance 2.0.”
ByteDance says that it’s rushing to add safeguards to block Seedance 2.0 from generating iconic characters and deepfaking celebrities, after substantial Hollywood backlash after launching the latest version of its AI video tool.
