"10-second videos of virtually anything you can dream up, including "cameos," or videos featuring your own AI-generated self and anyone else who approves of you using their likeness.

OpenAI released Sora, an iOS app that generates 10-second AI videos, including "cameos" that reproduce users' and approved likenesses. Social feeds filled with comedic, surreal, and realistic clips ranging from anime depictions to fabricated footage of public figures.

Some OpenAI employees publicly expressed concern about the release. OpenAI framed Sora as a potential milestone for video generation while the app's top ranking in app charts intensified scrutiny over safety, ethics, and governance.
