OpenAI’s video-making service faces scrutiny over data privacy in the EU
As of my last update, OpenAI has not released any information about a tool named “Sora” capable of quickly creating videos up to a minute in length. However, OpenAI is known for developing various artificial intelligence models and tools, including those related to natural language processing, image generation, and video synthesis. If “Sora” is a new development from OpenAI, it may have been released after my last update, or it could be a project that has not been publicly disclosed yet.
OpenAI faces further scrutiny from Italy’s data protection watchdog over concerns that the firm’s new artificial intelligence video creation system would process people’s personal data.
It’s the second time OpenAI has come to the attention of the Italian regulator, which is already investigating possible data violations by the tech company’s ChatGPT tool.
OpenAI is now facing new pressure from the Italian regulator, which said in a statement on Friday that it’s given the firm 20 days to provide information about its new AI service, called Sora, which can quickly create videos up to a minute in length.
The Italian regulator’s inquiry into OpenAI’s Sora service underscores concerns regarding the potential impact on users’ personal data processing, particularly in the European Union and Italy. This scrutiny reflects broader attention to AI technologies and their implications for privacy and data protection regulations.
OpenAI, headquartered in San Francisco and backed by Microsoft, has been at the forefront of AI development, along with tech giants like Google. Recently, OpenAI launched an online store allowing users to share customized versions of its popular ChatGPT chatbot. Despite initial delays due to leadership changes, the GPT Store is now operational, offering users the ability to share chatbots tailored for various tasks, such as education or recipe generation. Eventually, the store may provide avenues for users to monetize their creations, akin to existing app stores offered by major tech companies.
