However, not all AI applications have been well-received, as demonstrated by the controversy surrounding Google's Gemini model, which generated offensive historical images. The music industry is also feeling the impact of AI, with songwriters expressing concerns about the technology's potential to replace human creativity. The legal landscape surrounding AI is becoming increasingly complex, with lawsuits being filed against tech companies for alleged copyright infringement and breaches of agreements. In one notable case, Microsoft invoked the analogy of VCRs in its motion to dismiss a lawsuit that The New York Times filed. Meanwhile, legal AI is gaining traction in Australia and could disr...
