In a significant advancement in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), OpenAI has officially launched its new AI video social app, ‘Sora,’ for Android phone users. The application is capable of generating highly realistic videos based on text prompts.
The app was initially released for iOS (Apple devices) a few weeks ago, where it achieved record popularity, garnering over 1 million downloads in the first five days alone. Notably, Sora surpassed the initial popularity of the ChatGPT mobile app, and a similar explosive response is anticipated on the Google Play Store.
App Features and Global Reach:
This audio and video generation model can produce videos that appear highly realistic and authentic. Given that approximately 70 percent of global users utilize Android phones, the Sora app integrates a TikTok-style social feed.
- Social Feed: The feed showcases Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated videos created by other users.
- Camo Tool: A new tool called ‘Camo’ allows users to star in their own AI-generated videos.
- Video Creation: Users can input specific text prompts to generate their desired AI videos and subsequently post them on the share feed.
Initial Availability:
Initially, the Sora app will only be available to Android users in a few selected countries, including the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. The company has confirmed that work is underway to ensure its availability in other regions soon.
Access Announcement:
While Sora was initially an ‘invite-only’ application, it is now available for download to everyone for a limited time, reflecting OpenAI’s goal to rapidly expand the adoption of AI creative tools worldwide.
