ChatGPT's creator, OpenAI, has developed an AI model that can create realistic-looking videos, lasting up to one minute, from text. Examples include panoramic videos of the 19th century gold rush, birthday parties, and people moving through crowded cities. However, Sora will take some time to reach the general public: OpenAI wants to ensure that the model is not used to produce inappropriate or illegal content. For example, fake news or sexual content involving minors.
The main goal of the new model, which was presented on Thursday, is to teach AI tools to understand the physical world in motion. This technology can be used to simplify the creation of simulation systems that allow you to explore scenarios or train skills without the risks or costs associated with real-world experiences. For example, in the field of health, security and education. The name Sora comes from the Japanese word for “sky.”
“We share the progress of our investigation in advance of work commencement and receipt comment From people outside of OpenAI and to give the public an idea of the AI capabilities on the horizon,” the company explains in statement Introducing Sora. “Despite extensive research and testing, we cannot predict all beneficial ways to use technology, nor all forms of misuse. We believe that learning from real-world use is a key component to creating and launching increasingly secure AI systems“.

The model is now available to so-called “red teams” (Red teams), which are the groups that simulate “Opponents“ In safety exercises. In this case, the risk of the technology being used by fake news creators or sexual predators is being tested.
In 2023, several organizations have warned that new AI tools will be used to create child pornography more quickly. This topic was one of the focuses at the 2023 edition of TrustCon, an annual meeting of experts whose work is keeping digital platforms and communities safe. As a rule, real photographs of children are found Connected They are used as the basis for this crime.
By making Sora available to teams”Red team“, OpenAI could develop barriers that prevent this type of use. The company is also making the model available to some filmmakers and graphic artists to understand how the tool can benefit the artistic creation process. In recent months, several writers and artists have expressed concerns about the way the systems are being used. Artificial intelligence works to produce new content without citing their sources.
These concerns surrounding the use of artificial intelligence were one of the reasons behind the 2023 actors' strike in Hollywood. In November, a group of authors, including writers George R.R. Martin and Jodi Picoult, filed a lawsuit against OpenAI for allegedly misusing their work to train ChatGPT, another of the company's tools.
The cake that never ends
Just as imaging systems fail at detail (for example, how many fingers someone has), Sora also reveals some difficulties. For example, the concept of cause and effect. “[Num vídeo gerado pela Sora] “A person can take a bite of a cookie, but there may not be a bite mark on the cookie,” the OpenAI team explained in the presentation.
Other examples shared include someone trying to blow out the candles on a birthday cake without any effect on them (some candles are shown with two flames burning in opposite directions), or someone using a treadmill at the gym with their back to the console. Although the model is not yet available to the public, over the past 24 hours, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has also shared several videos on the social network X based on suggestions from netizens, from recordings of dogs. Podcasts Take a class to learn how to make fresh pasta in Italy.
The creator of ChatGPT does not disclose the data used to train the AI model. PÚBLICO contacted the OpenAI team for more information, but had not received a response at the time of publishing this article.
The Sora news comes the same week that OpenAI announced that ChatGPT will now be able to do so Save details User conversations to produce more contextually relevant responses.
