Some of these users, like 48-year-old Allan Brooks, survived, but allege that ChatGPT wrought emotional and psychological harm, and in some cases led to crises requiring emergency psychiatric care.

Suleyman announced he's heading up a new AI Superintelligence Team at Microsoft in a blog post Thursday.

The Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA), an anti-piracy organization representing Japanese IP holders like Studio Ghibli and Bandai Namco, released a letter last week asking OpenAI to stop using its members' content to train Sora 2, as reported by .

Cameo, the startup known for personalized celebrity videos, filed a lawsuit Tuesday against OpenAI, accusing the ChatGPT maker of trademark infringement over its new "Cameo" feature in the Sora video-generation app. In a complaint filed in the federal court of the Northern District of California on Tuesday, Cameo said OpenAI's use of the "Cameo" name, which describes a virtual likeness that users can create and share on Sora, is likely to confuse consumers and dilute its brand.
