George Carlin Estate Sues Over AI Comedy Special

George Carlin’s Estate Files Lawsuit Over AI Comedy Special

George Carlin’s estate has filed a lawsuit against the creators of an online comedy special that utilized artificial intelligence (AI) to imitate the late comedian’s voice and style. The hour-long video entitled “George Carlin: I’m Glad I’m Dead” allegedly infringed upon Carlin’s intellectual property rights and constituted copyright infringement, according to the lawsuit filed in the Central District of California. The lawsuit emphasizes that the case is not just about AI, but about the individuals who use AI to violate the law and flout common decency.
