OpenAI Declares Closure of Sora AI Video App


(MENAFN) OpenAI has decided to discontinue its social media application Sora, which quickly rose to prominence last autumn as a hub for distributing short-form videos created through artificial intelligence. The platform had attracted significant attention due to its innovative approach to AI-generated content sharing.

In a concise announcement released Tuesday via the US-based social media platform X, the organization confirmed it was “saying goodbye to the Sora app” and indicated that additional information would be shared soon regarding ways users can retain the content they produced on the service. The message also acknowledged user sentiment, stating, “What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing.”

OpenAI, widely recognized as the creator of ChatGPT, originally introduced Sora in September. However, the application soon sparked apprehension among advocacy organizations, scholars, and industry specialists. Their concerns centered on the potential dangers of enabling individuals to produce AI-generated videos from nearly any written prompt, which could result in the circulation of nonconsensual material and highly convincing deepfake content.

Opponents cautioned that these kinds of technologies might fuel an increase in harmful media while also encouraging excessive screen engagement. This behavior, often referred to as doomscrolling, reflects the tendency of users to continuously consume negative or overwhelming streams of digital content.
