ChatGPT was down for several users globally on Tuesday (June 4)&nbsp;with OpenAI saying a fix had been implemented and it was monitoring the results. A report by TechRadar said that the first reports of user experiencing ChatGPT hit downdetector at 12 pm IST (2.30 am ET). However, according to OpenAI,&nbsp;the outage has officially lasted just over two hours now.&nbsp;

Several users on X complained about the outage. "Chat GPT is down, I'm not doing any actual thinking, I refuse. I'll just sit here until it becomes available again," X user Bitcoin Lebowski said.

"ChatGPT is down. What if it never comes back and we have to use our own brains to write stuff again?," another user by the name of Tokyo Todd wrote on the microblogging site.

"How am I supposed to get any work done with ChatGPT being down?," a user Dorian Develops said in a post.&nbsp;

Tuesday's outage came days after the privacy watchdog of the European Union (EU) said that OpenAI's&nbsp;efforts to produce less factually false output from its&nbsp;ChatGPT&nbsp;chatbot were not enough to ensure full compliance with EU data rules.

"Although the measures taken in order to comply with the transparency principle are beneficial to avoid misinterpretation of the output of&nbsp;ChatGPT, they are not sufficient to comply with the data accuracy principle," the taskforce said in a report released on May 25.&nbsp;

"In addition, the outputs provided by&nbsp;ChatGPT&nbsp;are likely to be taken as factually accurate by end users, including information relating to individuals, regardless of their actual accuracy," the taskforce added.&nbsp;

ChatGPT down for several users globally; OpenAI says it’s monitoring results

Open AI, the creators of ChatGPT and Meta, which is the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp has said that they have acted on content which is being used to influence Indian elections and further Khalistani propaganda.

OpenAI highlighted in their report "AI and Covert Influence Operations: Latest Trends" that they disrupted activities of an Israeli commercial company, STOIC which was involved in generating content related to the Gaza conflict and Indian elections.&nbsp;

Initially targeting audiences in Canada, the US, and Israel with content in English and Hebrew, STOIC shifted its focus to India in early May, generating English-language web articles and social media comments critical of the ruling BJP party and supportive of the opposition Congress party.&nbsp;

OpenAI stated, "in May, we disrupted some activity focused on the Indian elections less than 24 hours after it began."

The report added, "the network began generating comments that focused on India, criticized the ruling BJP party and praised the opposition Congress party."

Simultaneously, Meta's "Adversarial Threat Report" revealed the removal of multiple accounts linked to a network originating in China supporting Khalistani propaganda. Meta's report said it removed "37 Facebook accounts, 13 Pages, five Groups, and nine accounts on Instagram for violating our policy against coordinated inauthentic behavior."&nbsp;

The network targeted the global Sikh community across various countries, including Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, the UK, and Nigeria. 
&nbsp; 
The operation "used compromised and fake accounts – some of which were detected and disabled by our automated systems prior to our investigation – to pose as Sikhs, post content and manage Pages and Groups" and "appeared to have created a fictitious activist movement called Operation K which called for pro-Sikh protests, including in New Zealand and Australia".

OpenAI disrupts attempts made by Israel-based company to interfere in India elections

Sam Altman's OpenAI on Thursday (May 30) revealed that it had disrupted five covert influence operations that were using its AI models for "deceptive activity" across the internet.&nbsp;

<h2>What deceptive activity did OpenAI report?</h2>

These operations, spanning the last three months, had the threat actors using OpenAI's AI models to generate short comments, longer articles in various languages, and creating fake names and bios for social media accounts.

The campaigns, as per Reuters, originated from Russia, China, Iran, and Israel. They focused on a range of topics such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the conflict in Gaza, the Indian elections, and politics in Europe and the United States, among others.&nbsp;

OpenAI said that the deceptive operations were an "attempt to manipulate public opinion or influence political outcomes".

<h2>Misuse of AI technology</h2>

OpenAI's disclosure has raised concerns about the potential misuse of generative AI technology, which can produce human-like text, imagery and audio quickly and easily.&nbsp;

In response to the threat, Microsoft-backed OpenAI announced on Tuesday (May 28) the formation of a Safety and Security Committee, led by board members including CEO Sam Altman, to oversee the training of its next AI model.

Despite the deceptive operations, OpenAI reported that these campaigns did not achieve any increased audience engagement or reach through its services. The operations included a mix of AI-generated and manually written texts, as well as memes copied from the internet, said the San Francisco-based firm.

Additionally, Meta Platforms, in its recent security report released on Wednesday (May 29), identified "likely AI-generated" content used deceptively on Facebook and Instagram. This content included comments praising Israel's handling of the Gaza conflict&nbsp;posted under entries from global news organisations and US lawmakers.

OpenAI exposes AI-driven propaganda campaigns by Russia, China and others

In an attempt to bolster its progress against OpenAI, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI has raised $6 billion. Not much over a year after xAI made its debut, the Series B round was announced in a blog post on May 26.

In an attempt to bolster its progress against OpenAI, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI has raised $6 billion. Not much over a year after xAI made its debut, the Series B round was announced in a blog post on May 26. The only companies that appear to be able to compete with OpenAI in terms of creating the largest language models, or frontier models, are Google, Meta, and Amazon's Anthropic. With his companies, Musk has accomplished several significant milestones. For instance, he popularised electric cars with Tesla, and he created the private-sector rockets that currently rule the American market with SpaceX. However, Musk's track record is also filled with mistakes, particularly in the area of software initiatives such as Tesla's self-driving capabilities or Twitter's venture under the name X. Access to user data from X will be a major benefit for xAI. With real-time access to X's data, xAI may be able to enhance the news value and sophistication of its chatbot. Also read: Black holes captured acting like a Death Star’s weapon, point jets at new targets Access to user data from X will be a major benefit for xAI. With real-time access to X's data, xAI may be able to enhance the news value and intelligence of its chatbot. Alternatively, it is more likely to recirculate extreme falsehoods as gospel because ultimately the source of the information will be the posts made by users on X and they will not necessarily be true. What is OpenAI doing to upgrade ChatGPT? On Tuesday, OpenAI announced that it has started developing a new flagship AI model that will replace the GPT-4 technology that powers ChatGPT. The San Francisco-based startup stated in a blog post that it hopes the new model would provide "the next level of capabilities" in its mission to create "artificial general intelligence," or AGI, a computer that is capable of whatever the human brain is capable of. In addition, OpenAI said that it was forming a new Safety and Security Committee to investigate potential hazards associated with the new model and emerging technologies. “While we are proud to build and release models that are industry-leading on both capabilities and safety, we welcome a robust debate at this important moment,” the company said in a blog post.

Elon Musk’s xAI raises $6 billion; OpenAI develops new flagship AI model

OpenAI's newest developments in artificial intelligence have stirred controversy in Hollywood, with actress Scarlett Johansson accusing the business of using her vocal resemblance without her permission. This debate has revived industry anxieties about AI's existential danger, even as studios investigate new technologies and prospective collaborations with OpenAI.

Johansson alleges that OpenAI's demonstrations of the most recent version of ChatGPT included a voice "eerily similar" to her role in Spike Jonze's film "Her." Despite failing to reach an agreement with Johansson, OpenAI used a voice that sounded extremely like hers, inciting outrage among industry executives. "This seemed to strike a real chord," said an industry executive. "It puts a human face on it. A well-known technology corporation did something to someone we know."

OpenAI, which surprised the world in February with its text-to-video tool Sora, has since been in talks with Hollywood executives about potential creative collaborations. Johansson's public criticism of OpenAI has complicated these negotiations, with some executives now seeing the tech behemoth's activities as disrespectful and arrogant. According to one studio executive, "It sure doesn't set up a respectful collaboration between content creators and tech giants."

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman defended the business, saying, "The voice is not Scarlett Johansson's, and it was never designed to sound like hers. We cast the voice actor behind Sky's voice before contacting Ms. Johansson." However, the corporation has not commented on its connection with Hollywood since the dispute.

The dispute has also brought attention to larger issues about AI and copyright. Some agencies and executives have voiced worry that OpenAI's models, which are trained on publicly available copyrighted works, would pose significant issues for directors and filmmakers who may be hesitant to use tools created without explicit agreement.

Despite these concerns, entertainment industry technologists regard Sora as having the potential to improve the film and television production process, particularly in terms of expediting digital effects. Fox already uses OpenAI's ChatGPT to recommend content for its Tubi streaming service.

OpenAI argues that it will preserve copyrights by preventing the creation of videos starring well-known characters or performers. Nonetheless, the Johansson controversy raises concerns about protecting lesser-known performers. Johansson may claim that OpenAI infringed her right to publicity, which empowers people to govern commercial use of their name, image, or likeness. Legal precedents, such as Bette Midler's successful 1987 lawsuit against Ford's advertising agency and Tom Waits' 1988 lawsuit against Frito-Lay, may support Johansson's claim.

Mark Lemley, director of Stanford's Program in Law, Science, and Technology, observes that, while Johansson's case is less clear-cut, the effort to duplicate her voice, together with Altman's outreach efforts and a tweet citing "Her," bolster her case.

Jeffrey Bennett, general counsel for the SAG-AFTRA performers' organization, has advocated for a federal right of publicity to protect voice and likeness, like copyright protections. "We're thrilled that there's now this huge dialogue about it," Bennett stated. "We've been trying to use the bullhorn and shout about it for quite some time now...We've been discussing the proliferation of 'deep fakes', and it is about to hit everyone. Now it is truly a conversation. There must be a federal solution."

As Hollywood navigates the convergence of creativity and technology, the Johansson case highlights the importance of clear boundaries and protections in the age of AI.

OpenAI faces backlash over alleged homage to Scarlett Johansson's 'Her' performance

At a time when Hollywood celebrities are worried about the potential misuse of artificial intelligence actor Scarlett Johansson has taken up the legal route against OpenAI's new chatbot. Johansson was left shocked and angered after OpenAI launched a chatbot named Sky with a voice eerily similar to her own.

Did OpenAi steal Scarlett Johansson's voice?

In the latest move to stay ahead of the race to dominate AI technology ChatGPT's maker OpenAI has announced the launch of their new model called GPT-4o. GPT-4o is the latest addition to its list of AI models that will power its popular chat board.

OpenAI launches new AI model GPT-4o to support ChatGPT

TikTok on Thursday (May 9) announced that it would begin using a technology that would assist the short-video platform in identifying and labelling the content generated by artificial intelligence.

It said that it would adopt the usage of "Content Credentials", which is a digital watermark that helps determine how the images were edited or created.

The technology, which was at first spearheaded by Adobe, is now open to use for other organisations too.

Notably, it has already been adopted by firms such as ChatGPT's creator OpenAI.

Researchers have raised concerns over how AI-generated content can meddle with the US elections that are scheduled later this year.

TikTok was one of the 20 tech companies that earlier this year signed an agreement vowing to combat the threat posed by artificial intelligence.

Other major tech firms like Alphabet Google's YouTube and Meta, which owns Instagram and Facebook, have said that they will begin using Content Credentials.

For this system to function properly, the maker of the generative AI tool, which has been used to make the content, and the platform where it has been shared, must comply with the industry norms.

TikTok already labels the content generated by AI tools inside the application, however, with this new move, it would also label the content produced via the help of artificial intelligence outside of the platform.

"We also have policies that prohibit realistic AI that is not labelled, so if realistic AI (generated contents) appears on the platform, then we will remove it as violating our community guidelines," Adam Presser, head of operations and trust and safety at TikTok, said in an interview.

<h2>TikTok, ByteDance challenge potential US ban in court</h2>

TikTok and its parent firm ByteDance on Tuesday (May 7) filed a legal challenge against the US targeting a bill signed by President Joe Biden that would push the app to either face a ban in the United States or to be sold.

The development came almost two weeks after Biden passed a law giving the popular short-form video hosting service an ultimatum of 270 days to find a non-Chinese buyer or face a ban in the country.

TikTok argues that the bill signed by the US president was unconstitutional.

"For the first time in history, Congress has enacted a law that subjects a single, named speech platform to a permanent, nationwide ban, and bars every American from participating in a unique online community with more than one billion people worldwide," said the suit by TikTok and ByteDance.

The lawsuit by the firm and the short-video sharing platform alleges that the move violates the First Amendment, charging that "Congress has made a law curtailing massive amounts of protected speech."

It further stated that the divestiture demanded for the short video app for it to be functional in the country is "simply not possible".

OpenAI launches image detection tool for AI-Generated content concerns

OpenAI, the Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence company behind the popular image generator DALL-E, on Tuesday announced the launch of a new tool aimed at detecting whether digital images have been created by AI.

OpenAI, the Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence company behind the popular image generator DALL-E, on Tuesday announced the launch of a new tool aimed at detecting whether digital images have been created by AI. Authentication has become a major concern in the fast development of AI, with authorities worried about the proliferation of deep fakes that could disrupt society. According to the company, OpenAI's image detection classifier, which is currently under test, can assess the likelihood that a given image originated from one of the company's generative AI models like DALL-E 3. Also Read: US newspapers sue OpenAI, Microsoft for copyright infringement in AI training OpenAI said that during internal testing on an earlier version, the tool accurately detected around 98 per cent of DALL-E 3 images while incorrectly flagging less than 0.5 percent of non-AI images. However, the company warned that modified DALL-E 3 images were harder to identify, and that the tool currently flags only about five to 10 percent of images generated by other AI models. Watch: OpenAI launches image detection tool for AI-Generated content concerns OpenAI also said that it would now add watermarks to AI image metadata as more companies sign up to meet the standards from the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA). The C2PA is a tech industry initiative that sets a technical standard to determine the provenance and authenticity of digital content, in a process known as watermarking. Facebook giant Meta last month said it would begin labeling AI-generated media beginning in May using the C2PA standard. Google, another AI giant, has also joined the initiative.

OpenAI revokes Sam Altman's control over startup fund

OpenAI will start allowing users to access its free-to-use ChatGPT generative AI chatbot without needing to sign up for the service beginning Monday, the Microsoft-backed startup said on Monday.

ChatGPT, which kickstarted the GenAI boom in late 2022, can mimic human conversation and perform tasks such as creating summaries of long text, writing poems and even generating ideas for a theme party.

The San Francisco-based company said that it will gradually roll out the feature to "make AI accessible to anyone curious about its capabilities."

The popular service, which set a record for the fastest-growing user base, has seen its growth slow down since May 2023, when its traffic peaked at 1.8 billion web visits, according to data analytics firm Similarweb.

OpenAI said it has introduced additional content safeguards for users accessing ChatGPT without signing up, such as blocking prompts and generations in a wider range of categories. It did not specify these categories.

Apart from the free version of ChatGPT, which does not have direct access to the internet, OpenAI also offers paid versions for individuals, team users and enterprises.

The company also said that it may use content provided by users to help improve its large-language models but said users can turn off the feature.

The move comes about a month after billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk sued OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, saying they abandoned the startup's original mission to develop artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity and not for profit.

OpenAI makes ChatGPT's generative AI chatbot accessible without requiring sign ups

OpenAI has decided not to release its Voice Engine tool that can generate a convincing clone of anyone's voice using just 15 seconds of recorded audio.

Deeming the tool too risky for general release, OpenAI said it was seeking to minimise the threat of damaging misinformation ahead of a year&nbsp;when about half the world will vote in elections.

<h2>The 'dangerous' voice clone tool</h2>

As per The Guardian, Voice Engine was first developed in 2022. An initial version of the tool was used for OpenAI's AI tool ChatGPT's text-to-speech feature.

However, after realising how powerful the tool is, keeping with its "cautious and informed" approach, the company has revealed its power publicly as it seeks to release the tool more widely.

"We hope to start a dialogue on the responsible deployment of synthetic voices, and how society can adapt to these new capabilities," said OpenAI in a blog post.

"Based on these conversations and the results of these small-scale tests, we will make a more informed decision about whether and how to deploy this technology at scale," it added.

<h2>Voice Engine's uses</h2>

In its blog post, OpenAI gave examples of real-world uses of the technology. This includes generating scripted voiceovers and preserving accents in translations.

&nbsp; 
OpenAI said it was opting to "preview but not widely release this technology at this time," in order "to bolster societal resilience against the challenges brought by ever more convincing generative models."

It added that it is encouraging "steps like phasing out voice-based authentication as a security measure for accessing bank accounts and other sensitive information."

The company also called for the exploration of "policies to protect the use of individuals' voices in AI," and "educating the public in understanding the capabilities and limitations of AI technologies, including the possibility of deceptive AI content."

OpenAI said that the generated audio will be watermarked so that its origins can be traced.&nbsp;

"Our terms with these (current) partners require explicit and informed consent from the original speaker, and we don’t allow developers to build ways for individual users to create their own voices."

While OpenAI's Voice Engine stands out for its technical simplicity and efficiency, competitors offering similar tools are already available to the public. Companies like ElevenLabs can generate complete voice clones with just a few minutes of audio.&nbsp;

Altman welcomed the new board members, emphasising the significant work ahead for the company.

The investigation by WilmerHale revealed that Altman's dismissal was not linked to concerns about OpenAI's finances or product safety but rather stemmed from a breakdown in the relationship and loss of trust between the prior board and Altman.

The law firm found that the prior board believed its actions would address internal management challenges, not anticipating that they would destabilise the company.

While WilmerHale acknowledged that the prior board had the discretion to terminate Altman, it also stated that Altman's conduct did not necessitate removal.

Sam Altman returns to OpenAI’s board with three new directors

The most widely used artificial intelligence (AI) tools globally are driven by OpenAI and Meta algorithms that exhibit discrimination against women, claims research released by the UN's cultural organisation UNESCO on Thursday (March 7).

The top names in the multibillion-dollar field of artificial intelligence (AI) train their algorithms on enormous volumes of data, that are mostly taken from the internet. This allows their tools to produce artwork inspired by Salvador Dali or write in the style of Oscar Wilde.

However, their outputs have often come under fire for demonstrating sexist and racist stereotypes and for using copyrighted content without permission.

Experts from UNESCO evaluated 2 algorithms and OpenAI's GPT-2 and GPT-3.5, the program that drives the free version of the well-known chatbot ChatGPT.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/openai-rejects-elon-musks-accusations-of-betrayal-697213">Also read: OpenAI rejects Elon Musk’s accusations of betrayal</a>

<h2>What did the study discover?</h2>

The study found that algorithms, that are referred to in the industry as Large Language Models (LLMs), exhibited "unequivocal evidence of prejudice against women".

The programs generated texts that associated women's names with terms like "home," "family," or "children", whereas, men's names were linked with "business", "salary" or "career".

Women were mostly shown as prostitutes, cooks, or domestic helpers, whereas men were portrayed as holding high-status positions like teachers, lawyers, and doctors.

The study found that GPT-3.5 was less biased than the other two models.

In contrast to GPT-3.5, which is a closed model, the authors praised Llama 2 and GPT-2 for being open source, allowing these problems to be closely examined.

AI companies "are really not serving all of their users", Leona Verdadero, a UNESCO specialist in digital policies, told news agency AFP.

Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO's director general, stated that because the general public was increasingly using AI tools in their everyday lives, it was important to raise concerns about these applications exhibiting gender bias as they hold the power to subtly change perceptions.&nbsp;

"These new AI applications have the power to subtly shape the perceptions of millions of people, so even small gender biases in their content can significantly amplify inequalities in the real world," she said.

UNESCO, releasing the report to mark International Women's Day, urged AI businesses to hire more women employees and minorities.

It also called on the governments to ensure ethical AI through regulation.

"These new AI applications have the power to subtly shape the perceptions of millions of people, so even small gender biases in their content can significantly amplify inequalities in the real world," she said. UNESCO, releasing the report to mark International Women's Day, urged AI businesses to hire more women employees and minorities. It also called on the governments to ensure ethical AI through regulation. (With inputs from agencies)

OpenAI and Elon Musk in legal tangle: AI mission derailed by clash over control and profit

OpenAI, the organisation behind artificial intelligence chat app ChatGPT, refuted Elon Musk's accusations of a betrayal of its original mission and announced its intention to seek the dismissal of the claims in court.

Musk, who in fact is a co-founder of OpenAI in 2015 alongside Sam Altman, had departed in 2018 and&nbsp;has become a prominent critic of the AI-focused organisation.

Last week, Musk initiated a legal case against OpenAI, contending in a San Francisco court that the firm was initially intended to be a nonprofit entity.

In response, OpenAI and its executives stated in a blog post, "We intend to move to dismiss all of Elon's claims."

OpenAI gained public attention in late 2022 with the launch of its chatbot, ChatGPT, capable of generating poems, essays, and excelling in exams.

Originally conceived as a nonprofit dedicated to developing artificial general intelligence (AGI), OpenAI aimed to create AI surpassing human capabilities across various measures of intelligence, with a focus on ensuring the technology's safety for humanity.

Microsoft invested approximately $13 billion in OpenAI in recent years, leading both companies to offer AI services to developers and individuals. Altman and other Silicon Valley startup executives presented their counter-arguments on Tuesday, supported by emails.

Expressing disappointment in Musk's actions, the blog post stated, "We're sad that it's come to this with someone whom we've deeply admired — someone who inspired us to aim higher, then told us we would fail, started a competitor, and then sued us when we started making meaningful progress towards OpenAI's mission without him."

In 2017, realising the need for substantial capital, Musk suggested attaching OpenAI to Tesla as its "cash cow." However, facing resistance, Musk eventually left OpenAI, asserting a zero per cent probability of its success and expressing plans to develop an AGI competitor within Tesla.

Upon departure in February 2018, Musk conveyed support for OpenAI finding its own path to raising billions of dollars, according to the blog post.

OpenAI rejects Elon Musk’s accusations of betrayal, to counter him in court

The US S-E-C is investigating OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT, over concerns that CEO Sam Altman might have misled investors.

Concerns over transparency lead to inquiry

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is probing potential miscommunication between OpenAI and its investors during a period of internal conflict that led to CEO Sam Altman's ousting in November 2023. The investigation reportedly focuses on Altman's communications and potential discrepancies between his actions and public statements.

Background

Altman's abrupt ouster as CEO last year sparked speculation and internal unrest within OpenAI. The board cited concerns over Altman's communication transparency as a contributing factor to his removal. In response to mounting pressure, Altman consented to an internal investigation as part of efforts to reclaim his position. However, no conclusive evidence has emerged to support allegations of misconduct.

Tensions escalated further due to Altman's involvement in fundraising endeavours for an external chip venture, including efforts to secure funding from West Asia. Additionally, a disagreement with former board member Helen Toner over a critical research paper added to the company's internal strife. Sources familiar with the board's decision-making process suggest that Altman's consistent pattern of behaviour, rather than a single egregious act, eroded trust and led to his dismissal.

Current status

Despite the ongoing investigation, the outcome remains uncertain, with no indication of wrongdoing by the parties involved. OpenAI has taken proactive measures to address governance concerns, appointing legal counsel and emphasising the importance of corporate oversight and diversity within its leadership structure.

The SEC's probe also underscores the challenges technology companies face navigating complex regulatory landscapes, particularly in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence. This investigation's outcome will be closely watched by industry stakeholders and investors alike.

US SEC investigates potential misconduct at OpenAI

The New York Times reports that Microsoft-backed Open AI has completed a deal that values the company at 80 billion dollars or more. As part of the deal, the company would sell existing shares in a so-called tender offer led by venture firm Thrive Capital.

AI craze boosts OpenAI's valuation

OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT launched its new AI tool, Sora, which converts user texts into videos. The new app can generate videos up to a minute in length, based on prompts given to its system. The application was launched on Thursday.

In its blog post, OpenAI said Sora is an attempt to teach AI to “understand and simulate the physical in motion”.&nbsp;

While text-to-video is not a new concept in the field of deep learning, and there are already big players in the market like MidJourney and CapCut, OpenAI’s new launch might overtake this storm soon. Videos shared on its blog post show that Sora is different from other players, as it produces high-quality (HD) videos within minutes that look very close to real ones.

One video on the blog post based on “Prompt: A movie trailer featuring the adventures of the 30-year-old spaceman wearing a red wool knitted motorcycle helmet, blue sky, salt desert, cinematic style, shot on 35mm film, vivid colours”, looks straight out of some Hollywood sci-fi movie, almost making it impossible to detect whether it's real or completely AI-generated.

As of now, Sora can only be accessed by a few researchers and video creators, the company said Thursday. The experts would “red team” the product – test it for susceptibility to skirt OpenAI’s terms of service, which prohibit “extreme violence, sexual content, hateful imagery, celebrity likeness, or the IP of others”, per the company’s blog post.

The launch of Sora caused a frenzy among netizens about how clear HD-quality videos it can create with a precision that almost looks real, with people asking on X, “Is this real?” and “So what even is real.”

One X user wrote, “'Is this real'&nbsp;question will pop up more than we imagine from now on.” Another wrote on Sam Altman’s feed, “Sam please don’t make me homeless”.

Apart from generating videos from text prompts, Sora can animate a still image, the company said in a blog post.
