Production company behind Blade Runner 2049 sues Tesla and Elon Musk for copyright infringement.
Tesla used imagery created using generative-AI and stills from Blade Runner 2049 at its We, Robot presentation.
Tesla requested permission to use an iconic still image from the movie, but the request was quickly rejected by Alcon Entertainment, the production company behind Blade Runner 2049.
Tesla then created a still image using AI image generator by feeding imagery from Blade Runner 2049, which appeared on screen during the live stream of the presentation.
