The release of Sora has been controversial, with some testers leaking the model to the public in protest of "unpaid labor". OpenAI has also faced criticism over the data used to support its language models, including Sora. The company has not yet addressed allegations that Sora has scraped public YouTube videos, which would be a breach of YouTube's terms of service. Other companies, such as Google, are also developing text-to-video models, with Google's Veo now available for private review to Google Vertex AI users.
