OpenAI Launches Sora 2, an Invite-Only AI Video App in the U.S. and Canada

The rollout marks a push into social video that centers on verified Cameos to place users inside AI-generated scenes.

Overview

  • The iOS app generates and remixes short clips, with reporting indicating videos are currently capped at about ten seconds.
  • Users can create a realistic likeness and voice through an activity check that prompts head movements and spoken numbers, and public figures are blocked unless they opt in.
  • OpenAI says Sora videos carry watermarks for export and the app disables screen recording to curb unauthorized sharing.
  • Copyright in the app defaults to inclusion unless rights holders opt out, and Disney has reportedly already declined participation.
  • Access starts by invitation in the U.S. and Canada with plans to expand internationally, offer an experimental Sora 2 Pro to ChatGPT Pro users via sora.com, add API access, and bring the app to Android.
