OpenAI has stopped its artificial intelligence (AI) app Sora creating deepfake videos portraying Dr Martin Luther King Jr, following a request from his estate.
The company acknowledged the video generator had created ”disrespectful” content about the civil rights campaigner.
Sora has gone viral in the US due to its ability to make hyper-realistic videos, which has led to people sharing faked scenes of deceased celebrities and historical figures in bizarre and often offensive scenarios.
OpenAI said it would pause images of Dr King ”as it strengthens guardrails for historical figures” – but it continues to allow people to make clips of other high profile individuals.
