Trump’s AI Action Plan reactions: Pitting tech interests against entertainment rights

Reactions are coming in to yesterday’s announcement by U.S. president Donald Trump of an AI Action Plan by the federal government.

It’s clear that Hollywood intellectual property companies and others in the entertainment industry weren’t happy that the report didn’t call for updates to copyright law or other new protections for content that is ingested by AI models and regurgitated as AI creations. One social poster noted that Denmark just gave copyright protection to everyone’s likeness and face in digital form.
