OpenAI stopped making videos of “Martin Luther King” with Sora

OpenAI has announced that it is possible to make videos fromMartin Luther King Jr”, the late civil rights activist, using an artificial intelligence model Sora has temporarily stopped

The creator of ChatGPT wrote in a statement on his official X account:

“While there are good free speech interests in depicting historical figures, OpenAI believes that public figures and their families should ultimately be in control of how their faces are used.”

The statement also said that authorized representatives or property owners can request that their faces not be used in the “cameo” section of the Sora app.

This restriction comes only a few weeks after Sora’s public release; A platform that allows users to create realistic AI videos that use historical figures or recreate their own faces. After the launch, there was intense debate about the dangers of AI-generated videos and how to develop “protection capabilities” for the technology.

Intellectual rights owners complain about making videos with artificial intelligence Sora

Martin Luther King’s daughter, Dr. Bernice King, took to Instagram last week to ask people not to send her any more artificial intelligence videos like her father’s. He, along with the daughter of “Robin Williams”, the late actor, demanded to stop the production of such contents.

The Washington Post recently reported critically that some Sora users have created videos in which Dr. King makes monkey-like noises or wrestles with Malcolm X, another civil rights icon! In the Sora app, you can also easily find other similar videos of other historical figures such as Bob Ross (famous painter), Whitney Houston or John F. Kennedy.

Earlier in another report, we mentioned the strange policy of the Sora app, according to which it is forbidden to make videos of living celebrities, but free of deceased people!

Since its release, OpenAI has added additional limitations to Sora. In early October, for example, the company announced plans to give copyright holders more control over the types of AI videos that can be produced with faces. A change that could be OpenAI’s response to the Hollywood industry’s negative reaction to Sora.
