Concerns raised over OpenAI’s controversial policies and video AI tool ‘Sora’

Staff Reporter | PNN:
At Toronto’s Elevate Conference, discussions with OpenAI VP Chris Lehen highlighted concerns over the company’s controversial policies, the Sora video generation tool, and its potential impacts on humans and the environment.

Lehen claimed that OpenAI is using artificial intelligence to benefit everyone. However, experts argue that, in reality, the organization is facing policy and economic conflicts.

Concerns were raised that Sora’s use of copyrighted characters and the high energy consumption of AI-generated videos could put pressure on local communities. Expert Nathan Calvin warned that OpenAI is threatening its critics and applying pressure in policy formulation.

In conclusion, internal OpenAI employees are reportedly aware of a crisis, questioning whether the organization is becoming “a dangerous power.”
