YouTube Says OpenAI Training Sora With Its Videos Would Break Rules

The use of YouTube videos to train OpenAI's text-to-video generator would be an infraction of the platform's terms of service, YouTube Chief Executive Officer Neal Mohan said. Bloomberg: In his first public remarks on the topic, Mohan said he had no firsthand knowledge of whether OpenAI had, in fact, used YouTube videos to refine its artificial intelligence-powered video creation tool, called Sora. But if that were the case, it would be a 'clear violation' of YouTube's terms of use, he said.

'From a creator's perspective, when a creator uploads their hard work to our platform, they have certain expectations,' Mohan said Thursday. 'One of those expectations is that the terms of service is going to be abided by. It does not allow for things like transcripts or video bits to be downloaded, and that is a clear violation of our terms of service. Those are the rules of the road in terms of content on our platform.'
