OpenAI suspends access to Sora video generation tool after artists protest

OpenAI recently granted a group of artists free access to its Sora text-to-video AI model, but has suspended the program due to protests.

Earlier this year OpenAI unveiled Sora, a text-to-video AI model, showing off detailed scenes and complex camera motion from relatively simple prompts. However, we believe instead we are being lured into 'art washing' to tell the world that Sora is a useful tool for artists," the group wrote on the AI art repository site, Hugging Face. "Hundreds of artists in our alpha have shaped Sora’s development, helping prioritize new features and safeguards,” OpenAI spokesperson Niko Felix wrote in a message to The Post.
