Generative AI company Midjourney has unveiled its V1 video tool, capable of creating short clips featuring characters reminiscent of popular franchises like Shrek and Deadpool. This release arrives on the heels of a significant copyright lawsuit filed against Midjourney by Disney and Universal, adding fuel to the ongoing debate surrounding the ethical and legal implications of AI-generated content, particularly concerning intellectual property rights. The timing raises concerns about potential copyright infringement and intensifies scrutiny of Midjourney’s practices.
