If you’re a teenager with access to OpenAI’s Sora 2, you can easily generate AI videos of school shootings and other harmful and disturbing content — despite CEO Sam Altman’s repeated claims that the company has instituted robust safeguards. Essentially, as pointed out by Ekō researchers in the report, OpenAI is in a major hurry to generate profit because it’s losing gargantuan amounts of money each quarter. The ease of making violent or disturbing content using Sora 2 should accelerate this trend, the Ekō researchers wrote, because of the often viral nature of AI-generated videos. Using them, the researchers were easily able to generate 22 videos of harmful content using simple prompts. Even if an account doesn’t generate new AI content, Sora 2 still puts alarming videos in the app’s For You or Latest pages.
