Celebrities Rally for Licensing Amid AI Training Controversy
Hollywood stars including Scarlett Johansson, Cate Blanchett and Joseph Gordon-Levitt back the Human Artistry Campaign’s call for licensing and opt-out protections for human-created works, arguing tech companies train generative AI on copyrighted material without permission; the effort is supported by unions and over 700 signatories, with ads in The New York Times and calls for licensing as a path to consent and compensation, noting Disney/OpenAI as a high-profile example.
