The new model of OPENAI videos generation, Sora 2, quickly gained popularity, users creating surprisingly realistic clips inspired by well -known caricatures and video games such as South Park and Pokémon.
But the American technology giant gives more power to companies that hold copyright so that these characters put an end to these copies of artificial intelligence, said boss Sam Altman.
OPENAI, which also manages the Chatppt, is faced with numerous proceedings on copyright violations, including a major case with the New York Times.
The problem made the headlines in March when a new Chatgpt image generator sparked a flood of IA images in the style of the Japanese animation studio Ghibli.
Less than a week after the release of Sora 2 on October 1 – with a Tiktok style application allowing users to fit into scenes created by AI – Altman said that Openai would tighten its policy on the characters protected by copyright.
“We will give right-handers a more granular control over the generation of characters,” he wrote in a blog article on Friday.
It would be “similar to the opt-in model for resemblance but with additional checks,” he said.
The Wall Street Journal reported in September that Optai would demand that copyright holders, such as cinema studios, withdraw from the presence of their work in AI videos generated by Sora 2.
After the launch of the Sora 2 invitation application only, the tool generally refused the requests for video features Disney or Marvel characters, certain users said.
However, clips showing characters from other American franchises, as well as Japanese characters in the popular games and anime series, have been widely shared.
These included sophisticated AI clips showing Pikachu of Pokemon in various film parodies, as well as scenarios featuring the Nintendo Super Mario and the Hedgehog of Séga.
“We would like to recognize the remarkable creative outing of Japan – we are struck by the depth of the connection between users and Japanese content!” Said Altman.
Nintendo said in an article on X on Sunday that he had “had no contact with the Japanese government on a generative AI”.
“Whether the generator is involved or not, we will continue to take the necessary measures against the violation of our intellectual property rights,” said the giant of the game.
Japanese legislative Akihisa Shiozaki has also weighed on X, warning “serious legal and political problems”.
“I would like to solve this problem as soon as possible in order to protect and feed the Japanese creators of advanced,” he said.
