Context: OpenAI has unveiled Sora, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model.

Sora: it is an AI tool capable of producing near-flawless one-minute videos based on text prompts.

• Sora utilizes diffusion-based techniques to generate high-quality images and videos.
• It involves adding noise to data and then reversing the visual data back to its original state.
• Sora generates high-definition videos that resemble cinematic quality, demonstrating superior performance in video creation.

        Limitations

• The legality of using unlicensed data for AI training purposes remains unresolved.

Furthermore, the potential for misuse of Sora to spread misinformation raises ethical concerns.
