According to PANews, OpenAI's new video generation AI model, Sora, has come under scrutiny for allegedly using content from popular video games such as 'Super Mario' and 'Call of Duty,' as well as images of Twitch streamers, for its training. Legal experts have raised concerns that this could lead to multiple copyright disputes. Experts highlight that video game footage typically involves several layers of copyright, including those held by game developers, unique content created by players, and user-generated maps. Utilizing such content without authorization to train AI models could be considered infringement. Even if AI companies claim fair use, users who publish or use the generated content that is protected by copyright may still face legal risks. Furthermore, if the output involves trademarks or likeness rights, it could pose additional legal challenges.
