OpenAI says safeguards are in place to prevent misuse. All videos include watermarks and metadata to indicate they are AI-generated. Users must agree not to upload content featuring minors, explicit material or copyrighted works.
Violations could lead to account bans, according to the company. Rohan Sahai, OpenAI’s Sora product lead, said the company is working to balance security with creative freedom.
The launch has drawn criticism from artists who participated in early testing. Some claim OpenAI used their unpaid contributions for marketing purposes.
OpenAI defended the testing process, stating that participation was voluntary and intended to improve the tool. The company said it plans to offer grants and other programs to support artists in the future.
Sora’s release reflects OpenAI’s latest efforts to expand AI’s creative applications while addressing ethical concerns over its use.
