Subj : OpenAI's Sora will one day add audio, editing, and may allow nudi To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Wed Mar 13 2024 19:45:05 OpenAI's Sora will one day add audio, editing, and may allow nudity in content Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2024 19:33:46 +0000 Description: In a recent interview, OpenAI's CTO Mira Murati claims Sora will have robust guardrails and will launch later this year. FULL STORY ====================================================================== OpenAIs Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati recently sat down with The Wall Street Journal to reveal interesting details about their upcoming text-to-video generator Sora. The interview covers a wide array of topics from the type of content the AI engine will produce to the security measures being put into place. Combating misinformation is a sticking point for the company. Murati states Sora will have multiple safety guardrails to ensure the technology isnt misused. She says the team wouldnt feel comfortable releasing something that might affect global elections. According to the article , Sora will follow the same prompt policies as Dall-E meaning itll refuse to create images of public figures such as the President of the United States. Watermarks are going to be added too. A transparent OpenAI logo can be found in the lower right-hand corner indicating that it's AI footage. Murati adds that they may also adopt content provenance as another indicator. This uses metadata to give information on the origins of digital media. That's all well and good, but it may not be enough. Last year, a group of researchers managed to break "current image watermarking protections", including those belonging to OpenAI. Hopefully, they come up with something tougher. Generative features Things get interesting when they begin to talk about Sora 's future. First off, the developers have plans to eventually add sound to videos to make them more realistic. Editing tools are on the itinerary as well, giving online creators a way to fix the AIs many mistakes. As advanced as Sora is, it makes a lot of errors. One of the prominent examples in the piece revolves around a video prompt asking the engine to generate a video where a robot steals a womans camera. Instead, the clip shows the woman partially becoming a robot. Murati admits there is room for improvement stating the AI is quite good at continuity, [but] its not perfect. Nudity is not off the table. Murati says OpenAI is working with artists to figure out what kind of nude content will be allowed. It seems the team would be okay with allowing artistic nudity while banning things like non-consensual deep fakes. Naturally, OpenAI would like to avoid being the center of a potential controversy although they want their product to be seen as a platform fostering creativity. Ongoing tests When asked about the data used to train Sora, Murati was a little evasive. She started off by claiming she didnt know what was used to teach the AI other than it was either publically available or license data. Whats more, Murati wasnt sure if videos from YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram were a part of the training. However she later admitted that media from Shutterstock was indeed used. The two companies, if youre not aware, have a partnership which could explain why Murati was willing to confirm it as a source. Murati states Sora will definitely launch by the end of the year. She didnt give an exact date although it could happen within the coming months. For now, the developers are safety testing the engine looking for any vulnerabilities, biases, and other harmful results".
