"OpenAI is shutting down its social media app Sora, which went viral towards the end of last year as a place to share short-form videos generated by artificial intelligence but also raised alarms in Hollywood and elsewhere."
"A growing chorus of advocacy groups, academics and experts expressed concerns about the dangers of letting people create AI videos on just about anything they can type into a prompt, leading to the proliferation of nonconsensual images and realistic deepfakes."
"Disney, which made a deal with OpenAI last year to bring its characters to Sora, said in a statement on Tuesday that it respects OpenAI's decision to exit the video generation business and to shift its priorities elsewhere."
"Just 30 minutes after the meeting, the Disney team was blindsided with word that OpenAI was dropping the tool altogether, a person familiar with the matter said."
OpenAI is discontinuing its Sora app, which allowed users to create AI-generated short-form videos. The app faced criticism for potential misuse, including nonconsensual images and deepfakes. Advocacy groups raised alarms about the dangers of unrestricted AI video creation. OpenAI had to limit AI creations involving public figures due to backlash. Disney, which collaborated with OpenAI on Sora, was surprised by the decision to exit the video generation space, as they were actively working on a project together when the announcement was made.
