Open AI shuts down generative AI video app, Sora ending billion-dollar Disney deal
"OpenAI is saying goodbye to the Sora app and will share more soon about how to preserve what users already created on the app. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing."
"A growing chorus of advocacy groups, academics and experts expressed concern about the dangers of letting people create AI videos on just about anything they can type into a prompt, leading to the proliferation of nonconsensual images and realistic deepfakes."
"Disney respects OpenAI's decision to exit the video generation business and to shift its priorities elsewhere, appreciating the constructive collaboration and what was learned from it."
OpenAI announced the shutdown of its Sora app, which allowed users to create AI-generated short-form videos. The app faced criticism for enabling the creation of nonconsensual images and deepfakes. Advocacy groups raised alarms about the potential dangers of such technology. OpenAI had to restrict AI creations involving public figures after backlash. Disney, which collaborated with OpenAI, expressed respect for the decision and emphasized the importance of responsible technology use that honors intellectual property rights.
