OpenAI Releases Sora AI Video Generator App for Android Users in Select Countries
Imagine a magical app that can create videos just by you typing what you want to see or by showing it a picture.
OpenAI has made this app, called Sora, available on Android phones in some countries.
It's similar to the app that came out for iPhones last month.
You can use it to make your own fun videos, like short clips on social media, or see what other people have created.
Right now, you need to be a special subscriber to use it, but maybe more people will get to try it soon.
Some people are worried that Sora might have learned by using videos they made without asking permission, but OpenAI is still working on making its video magic for everyone.
OpenAI has launched its Sora AI video generation app for Android users in select countries.
The Android app follows the release of the Sora app on iOS last month.
Sora allows users to create videos from text prompts or uploaded images.
Access to the Sora app is currently limited to premium ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers.
Concerns have been raised by Japanese anime creators regarding OpenAI's use of licensed content for training AI models.
