Disney invests $1b in OpenAI to bring characters to Sora AI

SUMMARY

Disney is investing $1 billion in OpenAI and will grant a license to characters such as Mickey Mouse and Luke Skywalker for OpenAI's Sora AI video generation tool. This makes Disney the first major content partner for Sora, which allows fans to create videos using over 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars.

Disney also issued a cease and desist letter to Google, demanding that it stop using its copyrighted characters to train AI systems. Disney accused Google of "infringing Disney’s copyrights on a massive scale."

Some AI-generated videos will also be released on Disney+.
