Sora by Openai – a next level technology | benefits and consequences

Introduction

As we already know that openai keeps launching new exciting AI models to the world and in the flow of the same Openai has launched Sora. Sora is text to video convertor AI model and it could be next big technology change after ChatGPT. As Sora has been considered as a major breakthrough in the domain of Generative AI world. Though this tool is still in red teaming phase and has very limited access as mentioned by Openai’s chief executive Sam Altman has already created a buzz.

Benefits and capabilities of Sora:

The word Sora actually means Sky in Japanese terms and this tool takes texts prompts as instructions and turn them into one minute long videos. Not only this but Sora is also able to generate complex scenes along with multiple characters, specific type of motions and even very accurate details of the respective subject and their background. The Sora model understands not only what the user has asked for in the instructions prompt but also how those things actually exists in the physical world.

This AI model Sora basically uses two types of AI approaches to achieve very high level of realism. The first diffusion modeling used in AI image generator such as DALL E which helps to convert randomized image pixels into a coherent image. The approach is a Transformer architecture which is used to contextualize and piece together the sequential data which means breaking down large complex words into the comprehensible sentences. This model will breakdown clips into visual patches which can be processed by transformer architecture.

This converting texts into the high quality videos is a very advanced technology as it can be used in various aspects like it could be used to make stock footages, storytelling in video even in the new stories. All of these capabilities of Sora makes it a very consequential tool. But unfortunately it cannot be used by everyone else in the World.

Consequences of Sora:

If Sora or the similar tools could be used by everyone then it may spread fake news claims on social media and when those claims could be backed up by pictures and the videos? This may literally support an advantage to the fake news spreaders like the one who spreads fake news on the communal riots or on the personal false news of some well known public figure celebrity. These models can really amplify the fake news. Well tech companies says they are working on it to resolve such consequences and trying to maintain a global accord in the works of such AI models which would attempt to limit the disinformation and fake news from AI.

But the real question is how they’re going to do that? Well, among many things there’s a concept of watermark. Every AI image or video will have a watermark which will help to distinguish them as AI created image or video from the real images and videos. For example, if a video shows a watermark of Openai or Sora then it clearly indicates that it’s an AI created video and not the real world incident.

Openai says a small cohort of visual artists, filmmakers and designers have been given access to this tool but these people are also under no hint that there will be a waiting list to be rolled out soon. The red team members who have been granted access are experts in the areas such as misinformation, hateful content and biased content to understand the critical areas of risk associated with the AI video generation using this Sora tool. Even though the red team members have access to the Sora but still it has some limitations like no any adult content, violence content or any celebrity likeness type of content can be generated using this tool.

As of now, there’s no any given date that when it will be available for the people around the globe to access Sora AI tool.
