"OpenAI is tightening up how its AI video generator, Sora, handles the likenesses of historical figures after users created "disrespectful depictions" of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. In a joint statement with the Estate of Martin Luther King Jr. on Friday, OpenAI said it has paused AI video generations depicting King at the estate's request while it "strengthens guardrails for historical figures.""
""While there are strong free speech interests in depicting historical figures, OpenAI believes public figures and their families should ultimately have control over how their likeness is used," the company and King's estate said. Under its new policy, representatives and estates for historical figures can now request an opt-out for that figure's likeness on Sora, the statement said. Sora already bans users from generating videos of living people without their consent, according to OpenAI's content rules, but it allows depictions of deceased figures."
