- This wasn’t just a content problem; it pointed to the limits of current guardrails in generative media platforms.
- The deal, reportedly valued at $1 billion, would have allowed Sora users to create videos using Disney-owned characters across franchises like Marvel and Star Wars.
Key claims in source B

- OpenAI told the BBC on Wednesday that it has discontinued Sora so that it can focus on other developments, such as robotics "that will help people solve real-world, physical tasks".
- A spokesperson for The Walt Disney Company said "we respect OpenAI's decision to exit the video generation business and to shift its priorities elsewhere".
- The firm said it aims to create other forms of advanced AI, including "agentic" technology capable of autonomously completing tasks with little human oversight.
