The launch of OpenAIs new video generation model, Sora 2, has drawn a sharp reaction from Hollywood studios and associations, leading to a new escalation in the conflict between the creative industry and tech giants. According to the Los Angeles Times, the key issue is Sora 2s ability to create videos using the likenesses of real people and copyrighted characters. Studios and actors unions argue this is a direct infringement of their intellectual property and likeness rights. The Motion Picture Association (MPA) has demanded immediate action from OpenAI. In response to the criticism, OpenAI has stated it will provide copyright holders with tools to control and block their characters and is considering a shift to an "opt-in" model, which would require prior consent for content use. This conflict raises fundamental legal and ethical questions about the boundaries of data use for AI training and the need for clear regulation in this area.
