George Carlin's estate files lawsuit against AI-generated comedy special creators.

The estate of the late comedian George Carlin has filed a lawsuit against the creators of an AI-generated comedy special featuring a deepfake version of Carlin. Released earlier this month, the special "George Carlin: I'm Glad I'm Dead!" has been criticized by Carlin's family and is now facing legal action for theft of copyrighted material and use of Carlin's likeness without permission. The estate argues that the special is an unauthorized use of Carlin's work and image.
