The answer is simple Eddie. Companies with money.
Quoits from TechCrunch

"As generative AI enters the mainstream, each new day brings a new lawsuit.

Microsoft, GitHub and OpenAI are currently being sued in a class action motion that accuses them of violating copyright law by allowing Copilot, a code-generating AI system trained on billions of lines of public code, to regurgitate licensed code snippets without providing credit.

Two companies behind popular AI art tools, Midjourney and Stability AI, are in the crosshairs of a legal case that alleges they infringed on the rights of millions of artists by training their tools on web-scraped images.


And just last week, stock image supplier Getty Images took Stability AI to court for reportedly using millions of images from its site without permission to train Stable Diffusion, an art-generating AI."

As it stands now, there are no laws in place and not much case law to address these issues.

These issues span many industries. Hospitals are using AI in radiology and it is possible that AI will take over the role of many radiologists.
Who gets sued? It depends on many factors. I can assure you that lawsuits will be filed when AI makes a mistake.

In some ways, the current situation reminds me of the "Napster cases.
The music industry responded by suing the owners of services like Napster, as well as ordinary users like a 66-year-old grandmother." Remember that case?

LOL...don't worry, Eddie; I don't think you are in any danger for having posted an AI-generated image on the forum.

As to Alan Jackson, I have no idea if he was consulted before using his name. It would be logical to assume he was.

In truth, there are people who are taking several positions of who to sue. Who is responsible for the copyright violation? Is it the company who wrote the code" Is it the AI itself? Is it the company that lets you use the AI? Is it the user of the AI?

If all this AI business were being generated by a handful of computer geeks, it would be one thing. The wealthiest companies in the world are behind all this AI business and they are investing BILLIONS.
Billions, Big Money!
