Everything Parents Should Know About Sora, OpenAI's New "Brain Rot" App
"Sora is a video-generation app that allows users to type in a prompt, and AI will create a video based on the description. Users can create Cameos, adding their own face into the videos, and remix others' video creations. Like other social media apps, it features an endless feed you can scroll through to see other random users' videos, as well as give likes, leave comments, and send DMs."
"Sora has since blocked the use of King's likeness after his estate brought attention to the racist ways users were using his face. Kristelia García, an intellectual property law professor at Georgetown Law, that OpenAI tends to ask forgiveness and not permission when it comes to using copyrighted material in general, and that "right-to-publicity and defamation laws vary by state and may not always apply to deepfakes.""
Sora is a video-generation app that creates realistic videos from user text prompts and allows Cameos that insert users' faces and remixing of others' creations. The app includes a social feed with likes, comments, and direct messaging, is currently invitation-only, and is slated for a teen rollout. Families of deceased public figures have objected to misuse of likenesses, and some likenesses have been blocked after misuse. Intellectual property and publicity laws vary by state and may not always protect against deepfakes. Video generation is computationally expensive, raising questions about free access and child safety.
