OpenAI Launches Sora Video Tool in EU, UK

OpenAI has officially launched its video generation model, Sora, for users in the UK and Europe, allowing ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers to create videos. The rollout, which began on February 28, 2025, follows a previous introduction in December 2024 to users outside the EU, with the delay attributed to European AI regulations. Sora offers various features, including video remixing, scene extensions, and preset styles, although it has limitations in physical understanding and generating realistic movements. The launch has sparked renewed discussions around copyright issues, as critics highlight concerns over AI's reliance on copyrighted materials for training. Prominent figures like filmmaker Beeban Kidron emphasize the urgency of addressing copyright implications in the creative industry. Despite the controversy, users have begun producing innovative content, showcasing Sora's potential for artists and creators.
