ByteDance has halted the worldwide rollout of its AI video generator Seedance 2.0 following immediate pushback from Hollywood studios.

Concerns over the use of copyrighted material in training the model prompted ByteDance to say it is "taking steps to strengthen current safeguards as we work to prevent the unauthorised use of intellectual property and likeness by users." The company’s global expansion plans remain on hold pending further clarification. Ler mais
