Lauren Goode: Well, speaking of Darth Vader, Disney recently licensed the use of Darth Vader's voice for a chatbot in Fortnite.
So we've been talking about the recent lawsuit filed by Disney and Universal against Midjourney, but the AI copyright battle isn't just happening in Hollywood, it's happening everywhere.
Kate, can you tell us about some of the main lawsuits that have caught your eye, and which industries seem to be the most active in suing AI companies?
So that one is definitely a major one to watch, but there have been some movement in a few others.
So if those settle, that will be a huge deal because we've been looking for what's going to go to trial and what's going to settle.
