Imagine describing a scene with vibrant details – intricate characters, precise movements, and immersive backgrounds. Sora brings that vision to life, translating your text into a realistic video that unfolds before your eyes. The model boasts a deep understanding of language, enabling it to not only grasp your words but also interpret how they translate into real-world scenarios.

Every single one of these videos is AI-generated, and if this doesn't concern you at least a little bit, nothing will

While Sora’s capabilities are undeniably impressive, concerns regarding potential misuse are equally valid. OpenAI acknowledges these worries and emphasizes its commitment to responsible development. Before integrating Sora into its products, the company will implement several safety measures:

• Red Teaming: Experts specializing in misinformation, bias, and hateful content will rigorously test the model to identify vulnerabilities.
• Misleading Content Detection: Tools like classifiers will be developed to flag videos generated by Sora.
• Existing Safety Protocols: DALL-E 3’s safety protocols, such as text and image classifiers, will be adapted for Sora.
• Global Collaboration: OpenAI will engage policymakers, educators, and artists to address concerns and explore positive applications.

While Sora is currently accessible only to red teamers and select creative professionals for feedback and improvement, OpenAI recognizes the need for community involvement and welcomes collaboration to shape the future of this powerful technology.
