24 分钟Hello and welcome to World Business Report from the BBC World Service.
Thanks so much for joining.
I'm Rahul Tandon.
Coming up, we'll continue our analysis of those trade talks between the US and China.
We have worked hard over these last two days.
Obviously, the team stayed at it until it was done late into the year.
And is the Musk-Trump bromance back?
But we're going to start the program by talking about an issue that's proving to be quite a challenge for some of the world's largest entertainment companies.
We are talking about AI and copyright as two of Hollywood's largest studios have taken legal action on this issue for the very first time.
Let's bring in our tech correspondent, Lily Jamali, who's in San Francisco.
Lily, as always, a pleasure speaking to you.
Give us the details.
And who are these two companies we're talking about and what action have they taken?
Names that I think a lot of our listeners will be very familiar with.
Disney is one and NBC Universal is the other.
These are the first Hollywood players to take on this issue of copyright having to do with AI.
We've seen other companies in the publishing space like the New York Times do this.
Some authors have sued and the like.
But these are the biggest players in Hollywood.
And, you know, this AI issue has festered for really a couple of years now.
