OpenAI launches Sora video generator in EU, Britain
The Hindu
Chief executive Sam Altman had written on December 9 that Sora’s delayed release in Europe was to “comply with regulation”.
US artificial intelligence heavyweight OpenAI said Friday that its Sora video generator was now available in the European Union and Britain, following its December launch in the United States and elsewhere.
The technology, allowing creation of high-resolution clips, will be on offer for paying subscribers to the AI firm's ChatGPT service in "the EU, the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland," OpenAI said in a post on X.
Chief executive Sam Altman had written on December 9 that Sora's delayed release in Europe was to "comply with regulation".
The EU has far more extensive rules around deploying AI and data protection than other jurisdictions, including the US.
Future OpenAI products might have "delayed launches" and "there may be some we just can't offer" in Europe, Altman said at the time.
Sora can turn out clips based on inputs including text, photo or user-provided footage.
Basic "Plus" subscribers can generate up to 50 videos monthly at standard definition and lasting around 20 seconds, with more on offer for higher-paying "Pro" users.
