OpenAI, which is constantly on the agenda of the AI ​​world, announced the Sora tool a few months ago, which generates videos from text. This tool, which has attracted quite a bit of attention, can create highly detailed and visually realistic videos. The reason behind its attention is also this.

OpenAI trained Sora to produce realistic videos. However, the sources the company used in the training process are unknown. A development regarding this occurred recently. In fact, an announcement came from the CEO of YouTube. Here are the details…

Were YouTube videos used for Sora training?

As you know, YouTube is a huge platform hosting hundreds of thousands of videos. Therefore, it is estimated that OpenAI may have used these videos to train Sora. Last month, OpenAI CTO Mira Murati stated in an interview that she had no information about whether Sora utilized platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook where videos can be shared. This led to uncertainty.

Today, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan, in an interview he participated in, warned that if OpenAI used their platform to train Sora, the company would be violating their terms of service. There has been no response from the AI company.

Mohan stated the following:

“From the perspective of a content creator, when a content creator uploads their work to our platform, they have certain expectations. One of these expectations is compliance with our terms of service. We do not allow the downloading of things like transcripts or video clips, and this is a clear violation of our terms of service.”

In fact, copyright infringement debates have occurred before. Leading press organizations such as The New York Times filed a copyright lawsuit against OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, stating that the AI ​​technologies were used to train unauthorized content from their own materials.
