Tesla, Warner Brothers Sued Over Alleged Use Of AI-Generated 'Blade Runner 2049' Image During Robotaxi Launch

Tesla and Warner Brothers Discovery are facing a lawsuit by Alcon Entertainment over using an AI-generated image resembling a scene from Blade Runner 2049 during the launch of Tesla’s Cybercab concept. Alcon denied Tesla permission to use an image from the movie, and the lawsuit accused the defendants of copyright infringement and false endorsement. The lawsuit argues that Alcon was concerned about associating its brand with Elon Musk due to his controversial behavior and political views.
