OpenAI Launches Sora: AI Video Generator Now Available in US
OpenAI announced on Monday, December 9, the public launch of its AI video generator, Sora, now accessible to users across the United States, The Guardian reported.
Initially available only to select artists and testers, Sora allows users to create videos from written prompts. This development marks a significant step in making advanced AI tools more accessible to the public, opening up new possibilities for creative expression and content creation.
Despite the enthusiasm, many users encountered difficulties signing up due to high traffic on OpenAI’s website. Early reviews have been mixed, with tech reviewers highlighting both impressive and flawed aspects of the generated content, particularly noting issues with realistic physics.
OpenAI is also addressing regulatory compliance, particularly with the Online Safety Act in the UK. To mitigate risks, the company has implemented restrictions against uploading likenesses of individuals and has blocked content featuring nudity or harmful materials.
