A major new partnership between The Walt Disney Company and the artificial intelligence firm OpenAI has sparked immediate concern among child safety advocates. The deal, announced this week, involves Disney investing $1 billion (approximately £747 million) into the tech giant and allowing its famous characters to be used in OpenAI's video creation tool, Sora.
Fans will be able to create clips with Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars characters, some even appearing on Disney+. While the companies promise a new era of creativity, watchdogs are warning that the move could put young fans at risk.
