The estate of George Carlin has reached a settlement with a media company over a fake comedy special that used artificial intelligence to imitate the late comedian's style. The company has agreed to permanently remove the special and refrain from using Carlin's image or likeness without approval from the estate.

The estate of George Carlin has agreed to a settlement with the media company it sued over a fake hourlong comedy special that purportedly used artificial intelligence to recreate the late standup comic’s style and material.

The settlement meets the central demands laid out by the Carlin estate in the lawsuit filed on Jan. 25. The plaintiffs say if that was in fact how it was created — and some listeners have doubted its stated origins — it meant Carlin's copyright was violated.
