The estate of the late comedian George Carlin is getting the last laugh on artificial intelligence.
The estate has settled a legal dispute with two podcasters over their unauthorized, AI-generated comedy routine imitating the legendary comedian, according to filings in California federal court reported by Reuters.
Mr. Carlin’s estate and the makers of the podcast Dudesy told a U.S. District judge on Tuesday that the podcasters had agreed to permanently remove the fake sketch “George Carlin: I’m Glad I’m Dead” from the internet and stop using Carlin’s image, voice or likeness without its permission, according to the wire service.
As reported, no other terms of the settlement were disclosed.
