LightBar Assembles Bounty Hunters To Monitor AI
LightBar, a stealth startup founded by an anonymous fintech entrepreneur, launched quietly last month to recruit internet "researchers" who probe generative-AI models for outputs resembling copyrighted film and TV content. The firm pays contributors small bounties and assembles evidence to sell to studios for lawsuits, settlements, or licensing, and proposes acting as a middleman in studio–AI partnerships. The service remains untested at scale.
