OpenAI’s new video-generation artificial intelligence tool Sora was briefly leaked by artists testing the new model, which some creative industries fear could pose a disruptive threat.
A project on developer platform Hugging Face on Tuesday appeared to be connected to the application programming interface for OpenAI’s Sora, enabling others to access the model and generate videos using the AI.
Several testers uploaded a letter to the platform accusing OpenAI of taking advantage of “hundreds of artists [who] provide unpaid labour through bug testing, feedback and experimental work” in so-called “redteaming” of Sora — a term used for early testing of AI models. After several hours, OpenAI shut off early access for artists, according to a message on the Hugging Face page.
