OpenAI is gearing up to launch Sora 2, a stand-alone app for its AI video generation model, which closely resembles TikTok in its vertical video feed and user interface. Users can create short clips of up to 10 seconds, with a recommendation algorithm powering a For You-style page. A notable feature is identity verification, allowing users to confirm their likeness for video creation. The app has reportedly received positive feedback from OpenAI employees, who have been using it extensively. OpenAI aims to leverage the current landscape, particularly with TikTok's uncertain future in the U.S., to introduce a competitive AI video platform. Sora 2 will face competition from similar offerings by Meta and Google, while also navigating challenges related to copyright and child safety.
