"Walt Disney and OpenAI make for very odd bedfellows: The former is one of the most-recognized brands among children under the age of 18. The near-$200 billion company's value has been derived from more than a century of aggressive safeguarding of its intellectual property and keeping the magic alive among innocent children. OpenAI, which celebrated its first decade of existence this week, is best known for upending creativity, the economy, and society with its flagship product, ChatGPT."
"So what the hell should we make of a just-announced deal between the two that will allow ChatGPT and Sora users to create images and videos of more than 200 characters, from Mickey and Minnie Mouse to the Mandalorian, starting from early 2026? Terms of the deal As part of the three-year agreement, OpenAI has committed to continuing to implement robust trust and safety measures, as well as controls to stop illegal or harmful content."
Disney and OpenAI signed a three-year agreement allowing ChatGPT and Sora users to create images and videos of more than 200 characters, including Mickey Mouse and the Mandalorian, beginning in early 2026. OpenAI committed to implementing robust trust and safety measures and controls intended to stop illegal or harmful content. Disney expects those controls to prevent lewd or harmful depictions, but AI-model guardrails are precarious and can be jailbroken. The partnership appears inconsistent with Disney's long history of aggressively defending its intellectual property, leaving unresolved questions about copyright and depiction controls.
