Bing AI Generates Controversial Images of Disney Characters, Raising Concerns Over Copyright Infringement

Microsoft's new Bing AI image generator is being used to create images of Disney characters like Mickey Mouse perpetrating 9/11 attacks.

Disney has not responded to requests for comment on the AI-generated images of its copyrighted characters.

It's unclear if Disney gave OpenAI permission to use its content for training, but seems unlikely given Disney's IP protection efforts.

The images reveal holes in AI guardrails and may represent copyright infringement by Microsoft/OpenAI.

Legal experts speculate a potential Disney vs Microsoft/OpenAI lawsuit could set a precedent on AI and copyright.
