Feedback from Indian artists, among others used for developing Sora: OpenAI

Artificial intelligence major OpenAI used feedback from artists and creatives globally, including Indians, to develop its text-to-realistic video generation platform Sora, the company said on Wednesday. OpenAI has rolled out Sora, which can generate realistic video from text, across majority of markets, including India. "Since sharing our research preview of Sora earlier this year, we've worked with artists and creatives worldwide, including in India, drawing on their feedback to develop a new and significantly faster version of the model. India has a world-famous community of creatives, artists, and filmmakers, and we're excited to see the new ways they create using Sora," an OpenAI spokesperson said. The model enables users to generate videos up to 1,080 pixel resolution, up to 20 second long, and in widescreen, vertical or square aspect ratios. OpenAI is offering Sora as part of ChatGPT Plus account at no additional cost. "You can generate up to 50 videos at 480p resolution or

OpenAI releases AI video generator Sora but limits how it depicts people

OpenAI has publicly released its new artificial intelligence video generator Sora but the company won't let most users depict people as it monitors for patterns of misuse. Users of a premium version of OpenAI's flagship product ChatGPT can now use Sora to instantly create AI-generated videos based on written commands. Among the highlighted examples are high-quality video clips of sumo-wrestling bears and a cat sipping coffee. But only a small set of invited testers can use Sora to make videos of humans as OpenAI works to address concerns around misappropriation of likeness and deepfakes, the company said in a blog post. Text-to-video AI tools like Sora have been pitched as a way to save costs in making new entertainment and marketing videos but have also raised concerns about the ease with which they could impersonate real people in politics and otherwise. OpenAI says it is blocking content with nudity and that a top priority is preventing the most harmful uses, including child sex

Canadian news publishers sue OpenAI over alleged copyright infringement

A coalition of Canadian news publishers, including The Canadian Press, Torstar, Globe and Mail, Postmedia and CBC/Radio-Canada, has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI for using news content to train its ChatGPT generative artificial intelligence system. The outlets said in a joint statement on Friday that OpenAI regularly breaches copyright by scraping large amounts of content from Canadian media. OpenAI is capitalising and profiting from the use of this content, without getting permission or compensating content owners, the statement said. The publishers argue that OpenAI practices undermine the hundreds of millions of dollars invested in journalism, and that content is protected by copyright. News media companies welcome technological innovations. However, all participants must follow the law, and any use of intellectual property must be on fair terms, the statement said. Generative AI can create text, images, videos and computer code based on a simple prompt, but the systems must f
