Leak Shows That Google-Funded AI Video Generator Runway Was Trained on Stolen YouTube Content, Pirated Films

Quick Summary:

A viral text-to-video AI generator developed by Runway was trained on copious amounts of pirated content and ripped off YouTube videos, according to a gigantic internal spreadsheet obtained by 404 Media.

The topic of intellectual property will likely remain a major sticking point in the development of generative AI, perhaps especially when it comes to AI models that can generate entire videos.

Last month, the company's Gen-3 Alpha video generation tool drew huge amounts of attention, with publications — including Futurism — lauding the almost photorealistic clips it could generate.
