The potential dangers of OpenAI's Sora tool

OpenAI's Sora tool allows users to generate short videos based on text prompts. While these videos can be impressive and realistic, they often contain physical errors and glitches. This lack of understanding of the real world raises concerns about the potential misuse of this technology in the form of deep fakes and misinformation. Elections and democracy could be particularly vulnerable to manipulation and deception. The evidential value of videos may significantly decrease, leading to a polluted information ecosystem. Regulations and global governance are needed to address these risks, but it remains difficult to fully understand and control AI technology at present.
