OpenAI is rolling out a significant update to its AI video tool Sora, introducing new controls for user \u201ccameos,\u201d improved watermark visibility, and enhanced safety mechanisms. Bill Peebles, Head of Sora at OpenAI, announced the changes on X on Monday, after weeks of user feedback over how the tool handles personal likeness and content moderation.<\/p>\n

Giving users more control over their digital likeness<\/p>\n

One of the standout updates addresses a key user concern \u2014 how their cameos can be used by others. Sora\u2019s cameo feature lets users generate AI videos<\/a> featuring their likeness, but until now, they had limited say over how those likenesses appeared in others\u2019 creations.<\/p>\n

With the new update, users can impose specific restrictions \u2014 for instance, blocking political content or banning the use of certain words. Peebles described it as a step toward \u201ckeeping users in control\u201d while allowing broad creative participation.<\/p>\n

The controls can be found under Edit Cameo > Cameo Preferences ><\/a> Restrictions, and Peebles noted that OpenAI plans to keep \u201chillclimbing\u201d toward even more robust moderation and customisation tools.<\/p>\n

Safety, watermarking, and moderation tweaks<\/p>\n

Alongside user control features, OpenAI is refining Sora\u2019s watermark system to make it \u201cclearer and more visible,\u201d reinforcing transparency around AI-generated content.<\/p>\n

Peebles also confirmed backend safety updates <\/a>designed to better detect potential misuse and reduce false negatives in moderation \u2014 while acknowledging that \u201covermoderation is super frustrating.\u201d The company appears to be erring on the side of caution as it fine-tunes Sora\u2019s safety systems in what Peebles called \u201ca world still adjusting to this new technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

A practical fix is also included in this release: users can now delete their Sora accounts without having to delete their ChatGPT profiles, a long-standing pain point.<\/p>\n

Fictional cameos on the horizon?<\/p>\n

The post also hinted at what\u2019s next for the platform. When one X user asked if fictional characters could soon appear in cameos, Peebles<\/a> confirmed the feature is \u201con the roadmap\u201d with more details expected soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OpenAI is rolling out a significant update to its AI video tool Sora, introducing new controls for user…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":58693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[43758,43784,345,43775,43760,43788,43769,43779,43782,43595,43765,43751,43786,43746,5811,343,344,43752,43753,43767,4193,43763,43781,43750,43774,43762,43773,43754,43770,43783,43759,43776,43761,43785,85,46,1748,43787,43766,43771,43768,43778,43756,3000,37508,42576,43790,43789,43747,125,43780,43748,43757,43772,43764,43777,43755,43749],"class_list":["post-58692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-account-deletion","tag-advanced-ai-capabilities","tag-ai","tag-ai-content-guidelines","tag-ai-ethics","tag-ai-feature-rollout","tag-ai-moderation-tools","tag-ai-platform-features","tag-ai-roadmap","tag-ai-safety","tag-ai-transparency","tag-ai-video","tag-ai-video-platform","tag-ai-video-tool","tag-ai-generated-content","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-bill-peebles","tag-cameo-feature","tag-cameo-restrictions","tag-chatgpt","tag-content-authenticity","tag-content-misuse-prevention","tag-content-moderation","tag-creative-control","tag-deepfake-regulation","tag-digital-identity","tag-digital-likeness","tag-false-negatives","tag-fictional-character-cameos","tag-fictional-characters","tag-generative-media","tag-generative-video","tag-generative-video-ethics","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-openai","tag-openai-announcements","tag-openai-sora-update","tag-overmoderation","tag-personalised-ai-videos","tag-responsible-ai","tag-safety-update","tag-sam-altman","tag-sora","tag-sora-2","tag-sora-2-privacy-controls","tag-sora-2-update","tag-sora-update","tag-technology","tag-user-consent","tag-user-control-features","tag-user-controls","tag-user-feedback","tag-user-privacy","tag-video-watermarking","tag-watermark","tag-watermark-visibility"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
