AI-Powered Video Generator Unveiled: Anyone Can Now Create Videos From Text
A groundbreaking tool that allows users to generate videos from simple text prompts has been released to the public. Sora, developed by the artificial intelligence research company OpenAI, harnesses the same generative technology that powers the popular chatbot ChatGPT.
Turning Words into Moving Images
Sora empowers anyone with a paid ChatGPT account to transform their written ideas into short, looping videos. Imagine describing a bustling cityscape, a serene sunset, or a fantastical creature — Sora can bring these visions to life in animated form.
Initial access to Sora is tiered according to ChatGPT subscription levels. ChatGPT Plus users can experiment with the technology, creating five-second videos in 720p resolution. ChatGPT Pro subscribers unlock the full potential of Sora, gaining access to higher 1080p resolution and the ability to generate longer videos.
Beyond Single Prompts: Storytelling with AI
Sora offers more than just single-scene video generation. Users can sequence multiple prompts together, creating narratives and scenes that unfold like a miniature film. The ability to remix existing videos and transform still images into animated clips further expands Sora’s creative possibilities.
Responsible Innovation: Safeguards and Ethical Considerations
“We’re introducing our video generation technology now to give society time to explore its possibilities and co-develop norms and safeguards that ensure it’s used responsibly as the field advances,” OpenAI wrote in a blog post.
Recognizing the potential misuse of such powerful technology, OpenAI has implemented several safety measures. Sora videos will include optional watermarks and metadata indicating their AI-generated origin. The initial release will limit the use of human-focused footage and will block content that could be used to create harmful materials, such as sexual deepfakes or content that exploits children.
What are the most meaningful risks associated with the development and use of AI video generation technologies, and how can these risks be mitigated?
