According to international news sources, the Motion Picture Association (MPA) has formally dispatched a letter to OpenAI, alleging that its latest video - generation model, Sora 2, is engaged in systematic copyright infringement. The MPA is demanding an immediate cessation of the unauthorized utilization of copyrighted film and television characters and content.

Since the introduction of the Sora 2 application, a substantial volume of AI - generated short videos featuring well - known film and television shows and branded characters has been uploaded by users. Charles Rivkin, the CEO of the MPA, pointed out that there has been a swift surge in the number of videos on OpenAI's platforms and social media that infringe upon the films, shows, and characters owned by its members.

OpenAI's CEO, Altman, mentioned that the company intends to offer copyright holders more precise control permissions. However, Rivkin stressed that the onus of preventing infringement lies squarely with OpenAI. Previously, OpenAI implemented an 'opt - out' mechanism, which was subsequently replaced by an 'opt - in' model. Under this new model, copyrighted characters are prohibited from being used without explicit permission. Altman also issued a warning, stating that the company might not be able to entirely thwart all cases of intellectual property misuse.
