OpenAI’s Sora video generator is launching for ChatGPT Pro and Plus subscribers — but not in the EU


Judging by a new support page, it seems that users in the EU and the UK won't get access to Sora, OpenAI's video generator, at launch.

This summer, when the company began rolling out Advanced Voice Mode, its human-like conversational feature for ChatGPT, EU users were left out of the early waves. In a statement provided to TechRadar this fall, OpenAI attributed the Advanced Voice Mode delay to the “additional external reviews” required by some territories. Meta has been particularly vocal about compliance requirements it sees as onerous, earlier this year endorsing an open letter calling for “a modern interpretation” of European privacy laws that doesn’t “reject [AI] progress.”
