It is not known for sure whether the new OpenAI neural network used YouTube videos for training – however, the video platform's CEO insists that this would be a clear violation of the terms of use.
“When a creator uploads their work to our platform, they have certain expectations,” Neil Mohan told Bloomberg Originals host Emily Chang. “And one of these is compliance with service rules. Uploading portions of videos or transcripts would be a clear violation.”
Sora is a new OpenAI neural network that can generate realistic short videos based on text queries. Like the startup's previous products – ChatGPT and DALL-E – the technology has faced criticism regarding the use of various data from the Internet for training, including potentially copyrighted data.
Last month, OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati told the Wall Street Journal that she wasn't sure whether Sora learned from user-generated videos from YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. The publication also reported this week that OpenAI was discussing training its next-generation large language model, GPT-5, on transcriptions of publicly available YouTube videos.
Mohan says Google will adhere to YouTube's individual contracts with creators when deciding whether to use videos from the platform to train its powerful Gemini AI model.

“Creators have different types of licensing contracts for content on our platform,” Mohan said.
He added that while “a certain portion of YouTube” may be used to train models such as Gemini, Google and YouTube ensure that it “complies with any terms of service or contract that the creators have signed.”
Meanwhile, OpenAI is in talks with major Hollywood studios, agencies and producers about the possibility of them using Sora. According to The Wall Street Journal, the neural network will be available to the public as early as 2024, and will subsequently be able to support audio and video editing to make scenes even more realistic.
