OpenAI Tests TikTok-Style Sora 2 App for AI-Only Short Videos

Internal testing highlights unresolved questions over copyright controls, likeness consent, safety filters, release timing.

Overview

  • Reports say the internally launched app serves a vertical, swipeable feed of only AI-generated clips with no option to upload from a camera roll.
  • Video creation inside the app is limited to roughly 10 seconds per clip using the next-generation Sora 2 model.
  • The software includes identity verification so users can authorize their likeness, be tagged by others, and receive notifications when their image is used, even in drafts.
  • Sources describe frequent refusals to generate certain videos due to safety or copyright filters, while the Wall Street Journal has reported an opt-out approach for rights holders.
  • OpenAI has not announced a public release date, with the effort positioned as a push into AI-native social experiences as rivals like Meta and Google roll out their own AI video features and TikTok’s U.S. future remains uncertain.
