While Midjourney Gets Sued, These Two AI Studios Get Signed
The post While Midjourney Gets Sued, These Two AI Studios Get Signed appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As copyright lawsuits escalate against some of the most widely used generative AI companies, two smaller studios are gaining industry traction by designing their workflows to avoid legal risk. Killer Kings on Sky History. The true crime-style docuseries features AI-generated visual … More reenactments. Gennie This week, Gennie, a generative video studio focused on nonfiction content, premiered Killer Kings on Sky History. The true crime-style docuseries features AI-generated visual reenactments. Separately, animation studio Toonstar signed with WME and announced a new original show with comedian and digital creator Nigel Ng. Both companies rely on AI to accelerate production, yet neither is facing scrutiny from copyright holders or regulators.

Visuals were created with tools like Google Veo and Luma’s Dream Machine, and incorporated into a more conventional documentary format featuring expert commentary and voiceover narration. According to Einhorn, each reenactment is the product of extensive historical research and prompt engineering that draws on academic consensus. Character designs are…
