Introduction.
Generative AI technologies are rapidly evolving, and one of the most notable is Sora, a revolutionary AI service released by OpenAI that allows users to generate high-quality videos simply by entering text or images.
This article provides a detailed overview of Sora, its main features, safety and ethical considerations, its public availability and use, and its future prospects. By reading this article, you will get a concrete idea of Sora’s potential and how it can be used.
Sora Overview
On December 9, 2024, OpenAI officially launched Sora. This service is a next-generation AI technology that can generate high-quality, natural-looking videos simply by entering text or images; Sora can realistically reproduce scenes with complex backgrounds and multiple characters, and can generate videos up to one minute in length.
Sora’s main features
Text-to-video generation (Text-To-Video)
Sora’s greatest feature is its ability to generate realistic videos based on text prompts entered by the user. For example, a user can create a visually rich video simply by entering the prompt, “A stylish woman walks through the neon streets of Tokyo. This feature can be used for a wide range of applications, including advertising production and storyboarding.
Image-to-video generation
It is also possible to create animated videos based on still images generated by tools such as DALL-E. This opens up new possibilities for expression by adding motion to still images. For example, a 3D model of a product can be given movement and used as a promotional video.
Editing and enhancing video (Video-To-Video)
It also has the ability to generate new videos based on existing videos, or to change the content or style. For example, it is easy to replace a portion of a promotional video or convert it to a video with a specific style.
Video splitting, editing and merging are also possible.
Sora not only generates videos, but also provides the following five functions for freely editing the generated videos.
Re-cut: Separate favorite scenes and extend the length.
Storyboard: Split the video into scenes and adjust.
Loop: Edit video loops.
Blend: Merges two videos together.
Style presets: Change the style of your video, such as black-and-white or paper craft style.

Safety and Ethical Considerations
Sora is designed to be safe and ethical in its use. All generated videos have an identifiable Sora mechanism in place to verify their origin. This mechanism reduces the risk of spreading misinformation and harmful content.
Sora also employs filtering technology that thoroughly blocks malicious abuse such as child sexual abuse videos and sexual deep-fakes, and is currently taking further deep-fake measures by restricting the uploading of images and videos that show people.
Furthermore, Sora’s operating policy takes into consideration the prevention of copyright infringement. Strict guidelines have been established to ensure that the content generated does not infringe on the rights of creators and artists, creating a platform that users can use with peace of mind. Sora plans to continue to expand its functions step by step based on this ethical and safe operating policy.
While leveraging the power of technological innovation, Sora clearly recognizes its responsibility to provide a reliable service for its users. These considerations have made Sora a highly anticipated video generation platform that can be used in a secure and ethical manner.
summary
Sora is a next-generation AI technology that generates realistic video from text and images, offering new possibilities for creators and companies. With its advanced features and attention to safety, Sora is expected to be used in a wide range of fields, including advertising production, education, and entertainment. Future updates will further improve its convenience and have a significant impact on society as a whole.
As a next step, we encourage you to actually use Sora to test its potential. Also, by considering specific ways to utilize Sora with a view to its future evolution, you may be able to seize new business opportunities.
