In a statement shared with BBC News, ByteDance said it would work to prevent users from generating videos based on Hollywood intellectual property. Deadline has contacted ByteDance for comment.
ByteDance’s statement follows the Chinese tech giant receiving cease and desist letters from Disney and Paramount, calling for an immediate halt to IP plundering.
Disney accused ByteDance of stocking its Seedance 2.0 “with a pirated library of Disney’s copyrighted characters.” Paramount said the AI model had produced “vivid depictions of Paramount’s famous and iconic franchises and characters.”
ByteDance told BBC News that the company “respects intellectual property rights and we have heard the concerns regarding Seedance 2.0.” It continued: “We are taking steps to strengthen current safeguards as we work to prevent the unauthorised use of intellectual property and likeness by users.
