  • Copyright is not ownership. You can own something, but not hold the copyright to it.

    Personality rights are also not copyright and as the ruling was not about personality rights, it did not affect these rights (where they exist in the US). Disregarding both AI and the recent ruling, if someone takes a photograph of you, you do not hold the copyright to it, the photographer does. If the photographer then does something with that image that harms your reputation you may be able to sue.

    And no, it is unlikely that there is a distinction between one’s likeness and “AI generated likeness,” it usually doesn’t matter if you use a photograph or a drawing of an individual, it is the identity that is protected regardless of what tool was used.


  • Workers will try, and some will win but many will lose. The company switching to AI assisted work is already going to be laying off a sizable portion of their workforce. If anything wages are going to go down due to the productivity gains as hiring will be easier.

    Now if workers have a strong and useful union, they might have the leverage to negotiate favorable terms. But without that, the benefits of technological capital does not go to the workers.
