This video was produced using the Sora model. /Video = OpenAI official YouTube capture It is reported that OpenAI’s video generating artificial intelligence (AI) model ‘Sora’, which has not yet been released to the public, was briefly exposed to the public. It was released by artists who had early access to Sora and were testing the quality of the AI model.
According to a report by the Financial Times (FT) on the 26th (local time), an application (app) programming interface that can use Sora has been connected to a project underway on the developer platform ‘Hugging Face’. As a result, an environment was created where outsiders could access Sora and use this tool. ‘Surreal elderhood’, a work produced by OpenAI in collaboration with visual artist katsukokoiso.ai. This video was produced using the Sora model. /Video=OpenAI Official YouTube Capture Sora was developed by OpenAI, the IT company that created ChatGPT, at the beginning of this year, but it has not been released to the public due to issues such as copyright negotiations. Currently, we are only providing access to a small number of visual artists, designers, and filmmakers to collect feedback on potential harm, risks, and improvements.
As a result, some of those participating in the test criticized OpenAI for using hundreds of artists to experiment with its products. It is claimed that artists are being hired and working without pay in the initial testing of AI models. It is interpreted that Sora was leaked without permission as a way to voice opposition. ‘Surreal elderhood’, a work produced by OpenAI in collaboration with visual artist katsukokoiso.ai.

As the controversy arose, OpenAI is said to have also blocked artists’ access to Sora. The FT evaluated, “This is an example of the conflict between Open AI, which has developed a leading AI model, and artists, who can suffer great losses as a result.” The work ‘Unrealistic’ produced by Open AI in collaboration with visual artist katsukokoiso.ai This is a video produced using the Sora model. /Video = Open AI official YouTube capture This year, Sam Altman and other Open AI executives presented Sora to Hollywood film production companies. Efforts have been made to appease the film industry’s concerns that jobs may be lost.
However, the art world is not letting down its guard against AI. Last month, more than 11,000 cultural artists, including Hollywood actors Julianne Moore and Kevin Bacon, and British rock band Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, wrote an open letter stating that generative AI is posing a ‘serious and unfair threat’ to the livelihoods of creators. It has been signed.
