PSA for Authors Using AI #contentcreators #writers #authors #creativecontentcreator

This video is a cautionary tale for authors using AI, particularly fiction authors. I'm Tisha Morris, entertainment and publishing attorney, and a book-to-screen deal just got killed because the author supposedly, allegedly used AI in the writing, the creation of the book. Now, whether they did or not is beyond what I want to talk about. I want to talk about why this is so important to a film production studio. Okay, so every project has to start with a clean— has to have a clean chain title, and that starts with the source material, which in this case is the book. If the book is not copyrightable because of AI in this case, then the project is dead in the water. You have to have a clean chain of title, a copyright. And the reason why they're saying this book may not be copyrightable is because if it's based on AI, AI is an amalgamation of other people's properties and is an infringement.
