OpenAI training Sora on YouTube videos would violate the platform’s rules.
In an interview with Bloomberg, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan doesn’t confirm whether OpenAI used YouTube videos to train its text-to-video AI model — but he says it would be a “clear violation” of the platform’s policies if it did:
When a creator uploads their hard work to our platform, they have certain expectations. One of those expectations is that the terms of service is going to be abided by. It does not allow for things like transcripts or video bits to be downloaded.
Last month, OpenAI CTO Mira Murati said she wasn’t sure whether Sora was trained on sources like YouTube.
