Crosby, a partner at Susman Godfrey, is the lead attorney for <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/new-york-times-could-sue-openai-over-tense-licensing-negotiations-2023-8">The New York Times</a> in its closely watched suit against OpenAI and Microsoft, claiming the Times' articles were used to train chatbots that compete with the newspaper. Nationally recognized for his work in IP and tech, Crosby has said he hopes the suit establishes that copyright holders must give permission and be paid for using their works to create AI products, especially ones that compete with journalism. "Nobody wins if AI consumes the livelihoods of creators whose original works make AI possible in the first place," he told Business Insider. OpenAI has called the suit without merit.See Business Insider's full <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://businessinsider.com/ai-power-list-2024">AI Power List</a>

What we know about the new 'The Lord of the Rings' movie, as Ian McKellen says he's open to returning as Gandalf

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Sir Ian McKellen did not hold back while giving his thoughts on the British royal family.</li><li>Speaking to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thetimes.com/life-style/celebrity/article/ian-mckellen-the-critic-interview-queen-was-rude-d0btv8wfb">The Times of London</a>, McKellen called the late Queen "quite rude."</li></ul><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-and-worst-ian-mckellen-films-ranked-by-critics">Sir Ian McKellen</a> has said that the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/queen-elizabeth-ii-death-photos-every-year-of-her-life-2022-9">late Queen Elizabeth II </a>was "quite rude" and that he was on <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/prince-william-salary-prince-harry-inheritance-duchy-of-cornwall-report-2024-7">Prince Harry's</a> side in the current royal rift — despite also taking a swipe at the duke.Speaking to <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.thetimes.com/life-style/celebrity/article/ian-mckellen-the-critic-interview-queen-was-rude-d0btv8wfb">The Times of London</a>, the 85-year-old British actor described a previous encounter with the monarch."On the few occasions I met her she was quite rude," the "<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lord-of-the-rings-what-they-look-like-now-photos">Lord of the Rings</a>" star said, adding that he thought she was "quite mad at the end.""When I received a medal for acting, she said, 'You've been doing this for an awfully long time.' I said, 'Well, not as long as you,'" he continued. "I got a royal smile for that, but then she said, 'Does anyone still actually go to the theatre?'""That's bloody rude when you're giving someone a medal for acting. It meant, 'Does anyone care a f*** about you because I don't. Now off you go!'"<div type="image" title="Ian McKellen" height="2000" width="3000" msid="113154404" hostid="261" sizebytes="219068"></div>The actor then demonstrated to his interviewer how the Queen, who died in 2022 at the age of 96, shook his hand by shoving him away."That was her handshake and it meant, 'Go! Go!'"McKellen was knighted for his services to the performing arts in 1991, and the Queen personally made him Companion of Honour (CH) for his services to drama and equality in 2008.Reflecting on the knighthood, the two-time Oscar nominee said he would have turned down becoming a "Sir" if he had been "a man of adamant principle."He said he considered rejecting the knighthood at the time but that he was swayed to accept it after he spoke to his friend, the actor and Stonewall cofounder Michael Cashman, who told him how "useful" it would be."And he was right, because being a knight opens doors," McKellen added.During the same interview, the actor also expressed his support for Prince Harry amid <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/timeline-prince-harry-meghan-markle-rift-prince-william-kate-middleton-2021-1">the Duke of Sussex's estrangement</a> from his brother, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/prince-william-kate-middleton-charlotte-george-royal-appearances-2024-7">Prince William</a>, and father, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/king-charles-iii-reign-so-far-photos">King Charles III</a>.Tapping on a copy of the <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/prince-harry-memoir-spare-surprising-details-you-missed-2023-1">royal's bombshell 2023 memoir "Spare,"</a> which the actor had at his home, he said: "I'm most definitely on Harry's side.""Imagine being born into the royal family. I've been in public life a bit, but these people are in prison. They can't do anything normal. Can you imagine having to be nice to everyone you talk to?" he went on.However, despite voicing his support for the royal, who has <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/prince-harry-his-decision-leave-royal-family-not-meghan-markle-2020-1">given up his royal duties</a> and <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/things-about-living-in-the-uk-that-prince-harry-might-miss-2020-4">moved to America with his wife Meghan Markle</a>, McKellen said that he thought the Duke was "probably not bright enough" to have survived royal life."He's probably not bright enough or doesn't have the right friends to really help himself," McKellen said, adding: "Hats off to anyone who manages to stay sane in that world."McKellen has been recovering after falling from the stage during a show in London's West End in June.He was starring as Falstaff in a version of Shakespeare's Henry IV titled "Player Kings" when he seemed to lose his footing during a fight scene, per the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgll4g848k0o">BBC</a>.Following the incident, McKellen thanked fans for their support in a message on X, adding that he was "hugely indebted" to the medical staff who diagnosed and treated his injuries."They have assured me that my recovery will be complete and speedy and I am looking forward to returning to work," he wrote.

If the indomitable <keyword id="22004142" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ian-Smith" source="keywords">Ian Smith</keyword>'s electrified description in English commentary of <keyword id="19908088" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Suryakumar-Yadav" source="keywords">Suryakumar Yadav</keyword>'s boundary line catch in the <keyword id="19921630" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20-World-Cup" source="keywords">T20 World Cup</keyword> final or Jatin Sapru's passionate call for 'long-off, long-off...!' in Hindi delighted billions of Indians watching history being made on TV, there was also a new section of fans who lived the experience in a similar passion with sign language commentary. A recently-included aspect in TV broadcast, sign language commentary has added a much-needed flavour of watching a cricket match on TV for those who are deaf or are from the hard-of-hearing community. And it includes players and fans alike who would set themselves up in front of TVs to follow the Indian team but would not get to live the experience like a regular fan, who would go through the upheavals of the game and commentary while also being educated. In order to make this happen, official streaming partner Disney+ Hotstar and official broadcast partner Star Sports teamed up with <keyword id="21682027" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="India-Signing-Hands" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="India Signing Hands" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="India Signing Hands">India Signing Hands</keyword> to provide ball-by-ball for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 updates through the presence of a translator on the live stream. The audio descriptive feed was complemented by voice-over technology for specific pages, which rendered text and images into a speech output, enabling visually impaired users to easily navigate. "Seeing Team India lift the trophy was an unforgettable moment, and the ISL feed made it even more special for us. We felt truly included in the celebration and enjoyed every match played by our team," said Needa Shaikh, the captain of <keyword id="22472720" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mumbais-deaf-cricket-team" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Mumbai's deaf cricket team" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Mumbai's deaf cricket team">Mumbai's deaf cricket team</keyword>. "This is the first time that we could enjoy the thrilling victory by being in sync with the tension during those last 3-4 overs. We kept up with the commentary and the atmosphere in the stadium and shed tears of joy when we won," she said, adding that the commentary made her feel 'included'. Another player, Nikhil Chanchlani says understanding technical details through commentary will help players like him to improve their game. "I have played in state level tournaments and deaf cricket championships, but our matches normally don't have any commentary as the crowd is also typically deaf," he said. "I feel like after knowing the technical details of international cricket, it has improved my understanding of professional cricket as a batsman," said the left-handed batter Chanchlani. Even if they lived the experience of watching India become T20 world champions for a second time through commentary, it still was something they had not felt before. "During the final, the famous catch from Surya Kumar Yadav, I could see the entire crowd making noise and the commentators' excitement only due to the interpretation and that doubled my excitement," said Yadnesh Maladkar, a fan. Among the interpreters is Mansi Shah, who said having a TV at home did not serve the purpose due to the lack of such interpretation. But for her father, Mahesh, who is also deaf yet a cricket fan, there is now a sense of belonging and equality. "It was liberating to watch independently, without relying on someone to explain the action. This step not only deepened my connection to the game but also gave me a sense of belonging and equality," he said.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>"Alien: Romulus" brings actor Ian Holm back to life in several scenes. </li><li>He played a robot in the original film and his likeness is used for a new android in the 2024 movie.</li></ul>Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Alien: Romulus."British actor Ian Holm died in 2020, but his likeness appears in "<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/alien-romulus-ending-explained-end-credits-scene-2024-8">Alien: Romulus</a>," partly thanks to generative AI. Fans are not happy about it — even though his family gave their blessing.The 2024 movie follows a crew of scavengers who break into a derelict space station to steal supplies to help them flee their bleak mining colony for a peaceful planet.When they break in, they discover that the company that owns the station, Weyland-Yutani, has <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/alien-romulus-isabela-merced-disgusting-scene-explained-2024-8">experimented with the monstrous Xenomorphs</a>, and they're forced to fight for survival.Along the way, scavenger Rain (Cailee Spaeny) and her adopted android brother, Andy (David Jonsson), discover a half-melted robot called Rook (Holm). The robot is a nod to Holm's character in the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/every-alien-movie-ranked-best-worst">original "Alien" movie</a>, Ash, who is programmed to do what's best for the company rather than the crew. His 2024 counterpart, Rook, has the same purpose.Holms could have appeared in a single scene, but he features in several scenes as a secondary antagonist. Some fans criticized how Holm's appearance was executed, while others pointed out that he could not give his permission for his likeness to be used, arguing it could set a dangerous precedent. However, his family gave their permission for Holm, who is also known for playing Bilbo Baggins in the "<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cate-blanchett-lord-of-the-rings-paid-film-free-sandwiches-2024-8">Lord of the Rings</a>" franchise to appear in "Alien: Romulus."Referring to Holm's widow, Sophie de Stempel, director Fede Álvarez told <a target="_blank" href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2024-08-19/fede-alvarez-ridley-scott-resurrected-ian-holm-ai-alien-romulus-interview">The Los Angeles Times</a> in an interview published on Monday: "In the last 10 years after 'The Hobbit,' Ian Holm felt like Hollywood had turned its back on him and his widow felt he would have loved to be a part of this. He loved this character in particular."Álvarez said: "We did it all with a lot of respect and always with the authorization of his family, his children and his widow, who said, 'We would love to see his likeness again.'"The director confirmed that "80 to 90%" of the shots were achieved using an animatronic supplemented with CGI, and generative AI to make another actor's voice sound like Holm.Álvarez continued: "We're not bringing someone back to life and saying, 'Ian would have done it that way.' He would have obviously done it differently. We had an actor who was on the set, who worked on the dialogue, who worked with the actors. It's not like we skipped hiring an actor."AI has become a hot topic in Hollywood in the last few years over concerns that it will put creatives out of work, which was a major concern of the<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sag-aftra-strike-end-tentative-agreement-2023-10"> SAG-AFTRA union strikes</a> in 2023.Some, like Scarlett Johansson, have taken a strong stance against the way AI can be used to co-opt a person's voice or likeness. The "Avengers" star <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://muse.insider.com/story/66c5b981b9a365362657b56d">lawyered up in May 2024</a> when OpenAI revealed a voice that sounded similar to her after she declined to voice one of the company's programs.But Álvarez doesn't think AI will be used to replace actors in the future largely because it's more expensive than hiring an actor."Doing it this way requires a team of so many people and so many parts to get it done that it's never going to be really convenient."

'Alien: Romulus' brought a late actor back to life using AI. Fans hate it, but the director said Ian Holm's family gave their blessing.
