OpenAI’s Sora 2 sparks outrage over AI-generated video risks and privacy fears
OpenAI's latest AI tool, Sora 2, has sparked controversy. The platform allows users to generate videos based on text prompts, leading to amusing and shareable content. However, safety and privacy concerns have prompted a backlash from advocacy groups and experts.
Public Citizen, a US consumer protection group, is demanding OpenAI withdraw Sora 2. They argue that the tool's ability to create videos on any topic poses significant risks. Similar concerns were raised about OpenAI's flagship product, ChatGPT, which has been linked to harmful delusions and suicides.
Pushback against Sora has come from various entertainment industries, including Hollywood and the Japanese manga sector. OpenAI has previously faced complaints about AI creations featuring public figures in outlandish scenarios. In response, the company has cracked down on such content.
However, women are reporting new forms of harassment online, such as fetishized niche content, despite OpenAI's ban on nudity. Public Citizen sees parallels between Sora's and ChatGPT's hasty releases, criticizing OpenAI for prioritizing downloads over user safety.
OpenAI introduced Sora on iPhones over a month ago and on Android phones last week in several countries. Despite the concerns, the tool remains accessible to users. OpenAI has not yet responded to Public Citizen's demands, and the future of Sora 2 remains uncertain.
