Safety & Privacy in the Sora AI App
OpenAI has implemented comprehensive safety measures in the Sora AI app to ensure responsible AI video generation, protect user privacy, and maintain content authenticity.
Content Authenticity & Provenance
Visible Watermarking
All videos generated by the Sora AI app include a visible watermark to clearly indicate that the content was created using AI. This helps viewers identify AI-generated content at a glance and promotes transparency in digital media.
The watermark is embedded in a way that makes it difficult to remove while minimizing impact on the viewing experience.
C2PA Metadata
The Sora app implements C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) standards to embed cryptographic metadata in every generated video. This metadata includes:
- Creation timestamp and tool information
- Verification that the video was AI-generated
- Chain of custody for any modifications
- Creator attribution (when applicable)
C2PA metadata can be verified using compatible tools and platforms that support content authenticity standards.
Content Moderation & Safety
Responsible AI Use
Automated Content Filtering
The Sora app uses advanced AI systems to filter inappropriate prompts and prevent the generation of harmful content:
Identity Protection & Cameos
The Sora app's Cameos feature allows users to generate videos with their own likeness, but includes strict safeguards:
- Identity verification: Users must complete a verification process before enabling Cameos in the Sora AI app
- Explicit consent: Only verified users can generate videos featuring their own likeness
- Revocation control: Users can revoke Cameos authorization at any time in the Sora app settings
- Prevention of impersonation: The Sora app prevents users from creating videos impersonating others
Youth Protection
The Sora AI app includes specific protections for younger users:
- Age restrictions: Users must be 18+ to create a Sora account and use the Sora AI app
- Content filtering: Additional filters prevent generation of content that could be harmful to minors
