OpenAI has released an AI video generator called Sora that can create short video clips from text descriptions. However, the company has placed limits on what the system can depict, excluding explicit content, hate speech, and extreme political and violent imagery. Sora uses a technique called diffusion to generate videos from scratch, rather than manipulating existing images or videos. While the system can produce impressive results, OpenAI acknowledges that it still has limitations and biases. The release of Sora comes as AI companies face increasing scrutiny over the potential misuse of their technologies. OpenAI aims to be transparent about Sora’s capabilities and limitations to promote responsible development and use of AI video generation.
