In India, Bollywood stars are asking a court to ban and remove videos using artificial intelligence that use their images and infringe on intellectual property rights. Their biggest complaint is against YouTube and its owner, Google, which has been widely distributing AI videos featuring Indian film stars.
In particular, stars Abhishek Bachchan and his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have approached the court with the above demands.
According to Reuters, in the future, they also want Google to take significant security measures to prevent other artificial intelligence platforms from training on such videos already uploaded to the YouTube platform.
Indian actors say YouTube’s policies on content and third-party training (including AI systems) are worrisome.
«The use of such content to train artificial intelligence models may lead to an increase in the number of violations,» the documents from the Indian actor couple say.
They are also seeking $450,000 in damages from Google and others, as well as a permanent injunction against such use of the content.
The lawsuits contain hundreds of links and screenshots of what they claim are YouTube videos showcasing «gross,» «sexually explicit,» or «fictional» content powered by artificial intelligence.
The Delhi High Court last month asked Google’s counsel to file written replies before the next hearing, which will be held on January 15.
The publication recalls that India, with about 600 million users, is the largest YouTube market in the world, and entertainment content such as Bollywood videos is the most popular.
As dev.ua wrote, YouTube will pay $24.5 million to settle Donald Trump’s lawsuit over its blocking.
At the same time, YouTube is already testing AI presenters on YT Music and expanding Premium capabilities across all platforms.
