YouTuber Elliot Choy Claims Kalshi Used AI Ad Based on His Video, Altering His Race
Elliot Choy, a YouTuber, alleges that an artificial intelligence-generated advertisement for prediction market platform Kalshi used his video content without permission and altered the race of the person depicted. The ad appeared nearly identical to one of Choy’s videos but featured a white individual instead. A representative from Kalshi confirmed in a separate report by NPR's Bobby Allyn that the AI-generated ad is real, though they stated it was old and no longer used for advertising purposes. The incident has sparked discussions around ethical use of AI tools in marketing and intellectual property rights among content creators. Choy shared evidence on X (formerly Twitter), drawing attention to potential misuse of user-generated content by companies leveraging generative AI technologies.
