OpenAI is developing Sora 2, a significant upgrade to its text-to-video AI models, aiming to compete with Google's Veo 3 by integrating realistic sound and speech capabilities. While Sora 1 was visually impressive, it lacked audio, which Sora 2 is expected to address, offering longer video clips and potentially more accessible pricing. Ethical considerations around misinformation and content restrictions remain a concern as the AI video landscape evolves.
