OpenAI's Sora AI video generator to reportedly require opt out from copyright holders

Sora, OpenAI’s software that uses generative AI to create videos based on user prompts, is apparently set to get a new update this week. This new version of Sora reportedly features a new rule that will require copyright holders to explicitly opt out of having their IP used by the service.

A new report from the Wall Street Journal revealed the newest details about the new version of Sora. According to the report, OpenAI has already begun reaching out to different companies to inform them of the upcoming change. Sora also won’t generate pictures of public figures unless they grant permission.

The report also claims that copyright holders won’t be able to just give OpenAI a “blanket opt-out” that encompasses all of their work. Instead, they’ll need to report specific violations of their copyright to OpenAI for them to opt out.

There have been countless instances of generative AI being used to create videos and images of notable characters from games, movies, and television. Many of which use OpenAI creations like ChatGPT and Sora, the latter of which was released last year. It’s created new problems for the tech and entertainment industries alike, and this decision seems like the latest effort to find some sort of resolution.
