*The Wall Street Journal* reports that Sora, OpenAIs new video production tool, will function under an optout approach for copyrighted content. This implies that if copyright holders do not want their content utilised in training, they must proactively seek exclusion. The strategy has spurred discussion about openness and fair use in AI research. Sora is regarded as a significant advancement in generative media since it can produce lifelike video in response to text inputs. The optout mechanism is criticised for shifting the responsibility to artists, but OpenAI insists it supports rights management and conforms with legal requirements. The action is a reflection of larger conflicts in the AI sector around data sourcing, copyright ethics, and striking a balance between innovation and intellectual property rights. Read More..
