OpenAI’s Sora 2 Faces Copyright Pushback as Legal Risks Mount
OpenAI’s newest video generator, Sora 2, is under scrutiny for its vulnerability to bypassing content filters. Users have found simple workarounds, such as misspelling names or altering descriptions, to recreate copyrighted material. Tests revealed blocked terms like "Animal Crossing gameplay" could be circumvented with "crossing aminal," raising concerns over the tool’s ability to protect intellectual property.
Japan’s Content Overseas Distribution Association, representing major studios like Studio Ghibli and Square Enix, has demanded OpenAI cease unauthorized use of member content for training. The Japanese government has backed this stance, amplifying legal pressure on the AI firm.
