Read from Nintendolife:

OpenAI recently released its dedicated Sora App, which is being pitched as a rival to TikTok and Instagram, with the key difference being that all the videos are generated via the Sora 2 video generation model.

As is the case with many of these Generative AI tools, Sora 2 has been trained on millions of hours of human-made footage which already exists online, almost always without permission – and that includes copyrighted material created by the likes of Sega, Nintendo and Microsoft.

Sora 2 has only been available for a day or so, and most social network feeds are already flooded with videos generated using the tool, many of which blatantly steal intellectual property, including Nintendo's.

I watched SomeOrdinaryGamers talk about Sora 2. It's crazy to see how AI continues to get better and better as time goes on. I seen a clip of a guy cooking up a Pikachu and eating it lol.
 
AI videos with copyrighted characters are nothing but peak. Funny, or otherwise. Just what the fanfic writers wanted.
 
I saw a few clips on X last night and honestly, some looked way too real . It’s kinda crazy what that thing can do already. But I also believe that it looks a bit off knowing that it's trained to do all that from big studios without permission.

Not really surprised they go after rom hacks and fan games, so of course they would go after AI generated videos. You can't make anything Nintendo related without them trying to come after you lol.

I wouldn't be surprised if they work out some type of deal. Sam said he discussed the Sora with some of the companies prior to releasing Sora, but then again, he tweeted out the other day "I hope Nintendo doesn't sue us"

Japan is organizing against blatant copyright infringements by OpenAI’s SORA 2 video generation model amid the growing controversy in the country.

Digital Minister Taira met with OpenAI executives last week. The minister conveyed the Japanese government’s concerns about potential copyright infringement, urging the company to take steps to ensure Japan’s intellectual property is not undermined.

OpenAI executives acknowledged that this is a serious problem and reportedly explained how the problem occurred that led to Sora 2 infringing on the intellectual property of Nintendo and other Japanese content creators, and what measures the company would implement going forward.

Regarding the issue, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has already stated that the company plans to introduce measures granting copyright holders the authority to control their works’ use, including the option to prohibit usage entirely.

The Japanese government and ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) have also hinted at invoking investigative powers under the new AI law enacted in June, signaling their plans to continue pressuring OpenAI and other AI companies for explanations and improvements.

OpenAI released Sora 2 in September and immediately after its release Social Media was flooded with videos closely resembling characters from Japanese and anime such as Pokémon, Dragon Ball, and Doraemon.

Immediately a wave of domestic criticism forced Sam Altman to announce on Oct 3 that the “mistakes will be corrected swiftly,” and that updates would soon be made. The company also strengthened functions to block unauthorized generation of Japanese anime characters and similar content. Behind these measures was pressure from the LDP.

LDP lawmaker Akihisa Shiozaki learned of the issue on October 1 after being contacted by an acquaintance familiar with anime rights.

Akihisa Shiozaki confirmed that they have strong evidence of copyright infringement, and he directly protested to Sam Altman and other OpenAI executives to demand a swift ban on illegal video generation. Altman reportedly responded that he would “address the issue in good faith.”

Shiozaki, who had previously served as OpenAI’s liaison when Altman visited Japan two and a half years ago, commented:

They launched the service without consulting the Japanese government or rights holders, which caused this confusion. Going forward, Japan should use its investigative powers under the AI law to ensure that foreign platforms clearly understand and follow Japanese rules.

Statement from OpenAI and King Estate, Inc.The Estate of Martin Luther King, Jr., Inc. (King, Inc.) and OpenAI have worked together to address how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s likeness is represented in Sora generations. Some users generated disrespectful depictions of Dr. King’s image. So at King, Inc.'s request, OpenAI has paused generations depicting Dr. King as it strengthens guardrails for historical figures.While there are strong free speech interests in depicting historical figures, OpenAI believes public figures and their families should ultimately have control over how their likeness is used. Authorized representatives or estate owners can request that their likeness not be used in Sora cameos.OpenAI thanks Dr. Bernice A. King for reaching out on behalf of King, Inc., and John Hope Bryant and the AI Ethics Council for creating space for conversations like this.

Huh, I suppose when AI does become strong enough, it can use ROMs to make its own games.
