Is Sora 2 the Future of Video? AI, Copyright, and Privacy Issues

OpenAI’s Sora 2 is here — and it’s not just another AI toy. This episode explores how Sora 2 works, how users can insert almost anything into generated content, and why that’s raising alarms about privacy, identity, and copyright. We walk you through the initial opt-out copyright controversy, the backlash from studios and creators, and how OpenAI is scrambling to offer more control. Tune in to understand what rights you might lose — or want to protect — in this new media era.
