The production company behind Blade Runner 2049, Alcon Entertainment, has filed a lawsuit against Tesla, Elon Musk, and Warner Bros Discovery for allegedly using imagery from the film without permission at Tesla’s robotaxi launch event.

The Details:

  • Permission Denied: Alcon claims it had specifically refused Warner Bros’ request to use material from Blade Runner 2049 for Tesla’s robotaxi event on 10 October.

  • Unauthorized Use: Despite the refusal, Alcon alleges that AI-generated imagery based on the movie was used at the event without permission, violating intellectual property rights.

  • False Endorsement: The lawsuit also accuses the event organisers of suggesting a connection between Alcon and Tesla, misleading audiences about any endorsement.

  • Financial Impact: Alcon highlighted the “substantial financial magnitude” of the alleged misappropriation, emphasizing the impact on its brand.

This legal action underscores the increasing challenges around intellectual property and AI-generated content, especially as brands incorporate popular media into high-profile events. It also raises concerns about brand misrepresentation and unauthorized endorsements in the business world.

Meta tests facial recognition 

Meta is testing facial recognition technology to combat scam ads, particularly those using celebrity images (known as “celeb-bait”) to trick users into providing personal data or money.

Meta assures that any facial data generated is immediately deleted and not used for other purposes.
