OpenAI's Sora Captivates Hollywood

OpenAI is actively engaging with Hollywood to introduce its AI video generation tool, Sora, to the film industry. The company has arranged meetings in Los Angeles with studios, media executives, and talent agencies to discuss partnerships and the integration of Sora in filmmaking.

This outreach includes demonstrations of Sora's capabilities to produce realistic videos from text prompts and participation in Oscar weekend events by CEO Sam Altman. While AI's role in pre and post-production is recognized, the emergence of generative AI services has sparked debate over its impact on creative professions. OpenAI aims to collaborate closely with the entertainment sector for safe AI implementation amidst growing competition in AI-driven content creation from other tech giants and startups.

Google to expand AI search to respond to Perplexity’s threats

Google is testing AI-generated overviews in its main search results for a small group of U.S. users, without requiring opt-in to its Search Generative Experience (SGE) labs. This test targets complex queries that could benefit from comprehensive AI summaries, aiming to enhance the search experience by providing more valuable responses. Google's goal is to evaluate the technology's utility with a broader audience, while still displaying ads around these AI insights. The impact on website traffic and ad visibility remains to be seen, as Google explores the integration of AI to improve search results.
