Recently, OpenAI's new text-to-video artificial intelligence model wowed the audience when it presented an example of what the company could do.
As its name suggests, Sora generates stunningly realistic images from descriptive text input. If you look closely you can sometimes find slight flaws in the images, but it has many wondering to what extent this technology has the potential to upend the television and film industries.
OpenAI isn't the only company working on AI-powered text-to-video tools, but their Sora clip was a real eye-opener. This cutting-edge tool will continue to improve, and with the power of Microsoft supporting his OpenAI efforts, change is coming.
OpenAI chief Sam Altman is headed to a meeting this week with Hollywood heavyweights to integrate his new AI video generator into their work, according to a Saturday Bloomberg report citing sources familiar with the matter. He plans to try to persuade him to do so, and he certainly hopes so.
In fact, this doesn't seem to be the first time AI representatives have met with key figures from movie studios, as numerous meetings reportedly took place last month.
Sora hasn't been released to the public yet, but OpenAI has “already granted access to several big-name actors and directors,” according to Bloomberg.
OpenAI told the news site in a statement: “OpenAI collaborates with the industry through an iterative deployment process that deploys AI advances in stages to ensure secure implementation and to ensure people understand what's out there. “We have a deliberate strategy to work together.” On the horizon. We look forward to continued dialogue with artists and creators. ”
As Bloomberg points out, AI is a very sensitive issue in the entertainment industry, and the controversy over how it is implemented is one of the reasons why writers and actors recently went on strike. Many people worry that technology will take away their jobs, or at least reduce their ability to earn a decent living.
While OpenAI's text-to-video tools are undoubtedly an exciting technology, Sora and other text-to-video generators are an uneasy prospect for many artists, and Altman spoke with key figures at the studio to discuss the technology. Many artists will grow up as they are reportedly meeting. Concerns about what will happen next.
