OpenAI released on Feb. 15 an impressive new text-to-video model called Sora that can create photorealistic or cartoony moving images from natural language text prompts.

Sora isn't available to the public yet; instead, OpenAI released Sora to red teamers - security researchers who mimic techniques used by threat actors - to assess possible harms or risks.

OpenAI released Sora to selected visual artists, designers and filmmakers to learn how to optimize Sora for creative uses specifically.

Videos created with Sora are likely to be spotted through errors in cause-and-effect, OpenAI said, such as a person taking a bite out of a cookie but not leaving a bite mark.

With the right prompts and tweaking, the videos Sora makes can easily be mistaken for live-action videos.

OpenAI plans to apply the same content filters to Sora as the company does to DALL-E 3 that prevent "Extreme violence, sexual content, hateful imagery, celebrity likeness, or the IP of others," according to OpenAI. If Sora is released to the public, OpenAI plans to watermark content created with Sora with C2PA metadata; the metadata can be viewed by selecting the image and choosing the File Info or Properties menu options.
