Embedded in the end credits of the movie is a warning: Universal Pictures, the major American film studio behind the film, will take legal action if any company or individual uses the film for AI training.
Universal recently joined Walt Disney Pictures in taking legal action against an AI image-generating startup called Midjourney.
In June, Disney and Universal filed a complaint accusing Midjourney of duplicating iconic characters from their copyrighted works in its AI outputs.
Instead of taking legal action against AI, other Big Eight film studios have begun to incorporate the technology into their movies.
For example, Netflix disclosed last month that it used AI to generate footage for one of its shows for the first time.
