Hollywood vs OpenAI: Disney, Warner Bros., and other studios say no to Sora

Hollywood studios and talent agencies are pushing back hard against OpenAI’s Sora 2, the AI video generation app that launched last week and quickly rocketed to over 1 million downloads. The Creative Artists Agency, which represents stars like Scarlett Johansson and Tom Hanks, called the platform a “significant risk” to creators’ intellectual property rights.

Disney has already opted out of having its copyrighted material appear on the platform, sending a letter to OpenAI stating it never authorised the company to use its characters and has no obligation to “opt-out” under copyright law.
