Artificial intelligence company OpenAI has launched a new AI tool that can generate realistic 60-second videos from a simple text prompt.
“Today we are starting red-teaming and offering access to a limited number of creators,” chief executive Sam Altman took to X to unveil OpenAI’s latest offering.
According to an announcement made by OpenAI on Thursday, the new tool, named “Sora,” would initially only be accessible to a select number of filmmakers and artists as well as “red teamers,” or academics who look for methods to exploit AI tools maliciously.
Sora expands upon the technology used in OpenAI’s DALL-E tool, which generates images. After interpreting a user’s request and developing it into a more comprehensive set of instructions, it creates a new film using an AI model that has been trained on photos and video.
Over the past year, companies such as Google, OpenAI, Meta, and Stable Diffusion have been racing to create more competent tools and find methods to market them, resulting in a significant improvement in the quality of AI-generated pictures, music, and video.
