AI Joke Theft Panel
Amanda Barkin speaks on the panel “AI Joke Theft” during the New York Comedy Festival at Upright Citizens Brigade, hosted by Deadline and the New York Comedy Festival. The panel explores how, in the age of AI, joke theft is becoming increasingly prevalent, with comedians facing the threat of their material being stolen, repackaged, monetized, and amplified. Deadline’s Matt Grobar moderates the conversation with comedians Olivia Carter and Olga Namer, manager Logan Potter, and attorney Amanda Barkin. The discussion examines the emotional, financial, and career impact of stolen work, as well as what action can be taken against AI accounts that use comedians’ material without permission.
