"OpenAI first made Sora publicly available in late 2024, but it wasn't until the company launched Sora 2 and its stand-alone app last September that the video generator reached mainstream attention."
"The shuttering of the video generator comes just three months after OpenAI and Disney signed a three-year deal that would allow Sora users to create videos from more than 200 licensed Disney characters."
"OpenAI gave no indication it was working to wind down Sora, despite outlining ways it's been working to make the app safer for teens and with stricter guardrails against harmful content."
"A spokesperson from the Walt Disney Company stated that they respect OpenAI's decision to exit the video generation business and to shift its priorities elsewhere."
OpenAI announced the discontinuation of its AI video generator Sora, which gained popularity after its launch in late 2024 and reached the top of Apple's app store shortly after. Despite its success, Sora faced criticism for generating violent, racist content, and deepfakes. OpenAI had previously outlined efforts to improve safety and content moderation. The decision to shut down Sora follows a recent partnership with Disney, which will also end as a result of this move. OpenAI is shifting its focus away from video generation.
