Tesla Owners Club Belgium · CC BY 2.0 · via Wikimedia CommonsA producer of Blade Runner 2049 has filed a lawsuit naming Elon Musk, Tesla, and Warner Bros., alleging they used AI to create unauthorized footage derived from the film. The complaint claims the footage incorporates elements from the producer’s copyrighted material and seeks legal remedies. The filing identifies specific defendants and contends the images originated from AI-driven processes tied to those entities.
