The capabilities of generative AI now extend far beyond static images, as more developers in the AI ​​race launch video capabilities. Designed by OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT and DALL•E, Sora is software that uses generative AI to create short video clips based on text prompts.

Sora builds on the DALL•E image generator and uses generative AI to create videos rather than still images. But as new software in a growing field, its launch raises a number of questions. In this guide, I’ll explore the basics of Sora, what it can do at its cost – and how OpenAI obtained its training data.
