Debate Over OpenAI Training Data
Although OpenAI has not revealed the exact occurrence of Sora’s training data, the issue was heightened when the company’s Chief Technology Officer, Mira Murati admitted to not knowing the source during an interview with the Wall Street Journal. This absence of transparency has been a big issue and therefore, the tech industry is now really skeptical of about any kind of data repositories such as YouTube.
Neil Mohan, CEO of YouTube, a Google owned company cautioned the creators of OpenAI. In an interview with Emily Chang on Bloomberg Originals Mohan showed that YouTube videos were used in training AI models (like Sora) whose use was against YouTube’s terms of service.
