CAA Agency Head Bryan Lourd Warns AI Must Be Built With Artists

Robert De Niro and Helen Mirren just signed a legal brief telling OpenAI that technical silence is not legal consent. They joined a massive filing from talent agency CAA in the ongoing copyright battle. The October twentieth brief targets Sam Altman and his company over using creative work without paying for it. OpenAI claims that making licensing deals is too expensive right now. The agency disagrees and says licensing at scale is totally possible. CAA chief Bryan Lourd stated that the future of AI must be built with artists, not at their expense. Julia Roberts, Scarlett Johansson, and Anne Hathaway also added their names to the growing list of objectors.
