OpenAI accused of 'consistent and dangerous pattern' rushing product to market that is 'inherently unsafe or lacking in needed guardrails' | Fortune
"It could be Queen Elizabeth II rapping or something more ordinary and believable. One popular Sora genre is fake doorbell camera footage capturing something slightly uncanny - say, a boa constrictor on the porch or an alligator approaching an unfazed child - and ends with a mild shock, like a grandma shouting as she beats the animal with a broom."
"writing in a Tuesday letter to the company and CEO Sam Altman that the app's hasty release so that it could launch ahead of competitors shows a "consistent and dangerous pattern of OpenAI rushing to market with a product that is either inherently unsafe or lacking in needed guardrails." Sora 2, the letter says, shows a "reckless disregard" for product safety, as well as people's rights to their own likeness and the stability of democracy."
AI image-generation platform Sora 2 produces short videos that spread across TikTok, Instagram, X and Facebook and often prioritize amusement or shock value. Common formats include fabricated impersonations and staged doorbell-camera footage featuring uncanny or dangerous scenarios. Advocacy groups, academics and experts warn that prompt-driven video creation accelerates the spread of nonconsensual images and realistic deepfakes, risking individuals' likeness rights and social trust. OpenAI imposed some limits on public-figure depictions only after pressure from estates and unions. Public Citizen demanded Sora 2's withdrawal, citing rushed release, inadequate guardrails, and threats to safety and democratic stability.
