Disney Investigates AI-Generated Artwork Leak

July 17, 2024

A hacker group called NullBulge has allegedly breached Disney’s systems, leaking unreleased projects, code, and login credentials. The group claims to be protecting artists’ rights and ensuring fair compensation for their work. Critics argue that AI companies like Disney are stealing from artists by training algorithms on proprietary data and producing content that resembles the original work. This issue has led to numerous lawsuits against AI companies, but no decisive legal precedent has been set. Disney is investigating the breach, which reportedly includes unreleased projects and login credentials.
