\n\tGoogle<\/a> is cooperating with Disney<\/a>\u2018s cease and desist, removing dozens of AI<\/a>-generated videos featuring characters belonging to the century-old entertainment conglomerate. <\/p>\n \n\tFollowing the Disney\u2019s $1B deal<\/a> with OpenAI<\/a> for three-year licensing of several characters on Sora<\/a>, Google<\/a> has taken down dozens of AI<\/a> videos from YouTube<\/a> featuring Mickey Mouse, Deadpool, Moana and more.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe have a longstanding and mutually beneficial relationship with Disney, and will continue to engage with them,\u201d a Google rep said in a statement. \u201cMore generally, we use public data from the open web to build our AI and have built additional innovative copyright controls like Google-extended and Content ID for YouTube, which give sites and copyright holders control over their content.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tOn Wednesday, Disney fired off the letter<\/a> claiming that Google\u2019s AI training models and services infringe on its copyrights on a \u201cmassive scale,\u201d just before the company made the announcement that it has reached a three-yea<\/a>r<\/a> agreement<\/a> with a Google rival, OpenAI<\/a>, to provide its characters and IP for use in the latter company\u2019s services.<\/p>\n \n\tThe timing of the letter appeared to be no coincidence. A source familiar with Disney executives\u2019 thinking said, \u201cOur agreement with OpenAI demonstrates that the world of AI does not have to be lawless, and that technology innovators and creative industries can work together and thrive if they are willing to respect the value of creators and their works.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\tWatch on Deadline\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
