OpenAI on Thursday announced it was pausing its AI tool Sora from generating videos depicting Martin Luther King Jr.’s likeness to comply with a request from the civil rights leader’s estate, in a move that comes amid growing concerns about controversial AI-generated content featuring deceased public figures.
In a statement issued on social media, OpenAI said some Sora users had “generated disrespectful depictions of Dr. King’s image.”
The company said it is working with King’s estate in this matter and, upon their request, has paused such AI video generations of him.
