JAKARTA Content generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI) is still controversial because of the learning method. According to some people, AI content harms artists and writers for stealing their works.

These works were taken to serve as a learning tool so that AI could create any images, videos, or writing. Therefore, big media such as the New York Times and Getty Images take legal steps to protect their work.

YouTube might take the same action if Sora, OpenAI's text-based video maker, actually stole content from YouTube. YouTube CEO Neal Mohan has also given a warning.

Mohan's firm stance was a response to OpenAI Mira Murati's CTO statement some time ago. To the Wall Street Journal, quoted from Engadget, Murati admitted that she was not sure if Sora took data from YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.

Uncertainty of this learning data creates a polemic. It means, there is a possibility that Sora did'steal' data from various social media platforms. Of course Mohan, as the leader of YouTube, did not like OpenAI's actions.

Therefore, Mohan emphasized that the use of YouTube videos as a learning medium for AI is part of theft. This shows a very real violation of the provisions of the use of the platform.

"This doesn't allow things like transcripts or video bits to download," Mohan told Bloomberg. "It's definitely a violation of our service requirements. It's a game rule in terms of content on our platform."

Mohan did not tell them what action they would take if Sora actually stole content from their platform. However, it is likely that the move will be the same as the New York Times and Getty Images, namely suing through legal channels.
