George Carlin's estate files lawsuit over AI-generated comedy special

Comedian George Carlin died in 2008. His voice was resurrected earlier this month when an AI-generated comedy special, called 'George Carlin: I'm glad I'm dead,' was posted to YouTube by Dudesy, a podcast. Dudesy is run by Will Sasso and Chad Kultgen. Carlin's estate has since filed suit, accusing Dudesy of stealing "a great American artist's work". The lawsuit "alleging copyright infringement and a violation of" Carlin's "right to publicity" was filed in California Federal Court, NBC News reports.
