But despite my reservations, I applaud OpenAI's steps to ensure that the

problems raised by AI-generated art are being addressed before the release of Sora. It
was stated that they used publicly available and licensed videos to train Sora; this
addressed the initial ethical problems of AI art programs using stolen art to train them
and recreate the artists' personal styles. I also applaud them for including watermarks to
identify the art as AI-generated, which prevents people from falsely claiming AI art was
theirs. I also like that they only released Sora, a small group of academics and
researchers, to understand the possible effects of Sora on the public and the possible
dangers of having a program like Sora.

OpenAI should properly study the effects of Sora before releasing it to the public.
Technological advancement is normal in our current world, but managing it determines
whether it is advantageous and ethical. To prevent the loss of jobs with the proliferation
of AI-generated art and videos, lawmakers could set up policies that limit the use of
such programs and have the companies who created them add a watermark to identify
AI-generated videos from human-created videos. Technological advancements can't be
stopped but can be regulated to prevent or lessen the unethical use and abuse of such
technologies.
