Artificial intelligence firm OpenAI has unveiled its latest product, a text-to-video model called Sora. However, advances in AI have been more fuel for scammers, and as crypto markets bloom, this could be put to use to scam people.

According to the February 15 announcement, Sora can create videos of up to 60 seconds featuring highly detailed scenes, complex camera motion, and multiple characters with vibrant emotions.

New AI Tool for the Crypto Scammer Toolbox?

The firm stated that it would be “taking several important safety steps” ahead of making Sora available in its products.

“We are working with red teamers — domain experts in areas like misinformation, hateful content, and bias — who are adversarially testing the model.”

It showcased several videos created from text prompts providing a brief description of the desired scene.

The model understands what the user has asked for in the prompt and also how those things exist in the physical world, it stated.

OpenAI also said that the model has a deep understanding of language. This enables it to accurately interpret prompts and,

“Generate compelling characters that express vibrant emotions.”

However, the firm cautioned:

“Despite extensive research and testing, we cannot predict all of the beneficial ways people will use our technology, nor all the ways people will abuse it.”
