Recently, OpenAI announced that it has suspended the generation of images of Martin Luther King Jr. by its AI video generation model Sora, at the request of the Martin Luther King Jr. Estate. This decision came after user-generated "offensive" videos appeared on the Sora platform, which depicted this historical figure in an inappropriate manner, sparking widespread public discussion.

Since the release of Sora, the safety of AI-generated videos and related protective measures have become a topic of heated debate. In addition to Martin Luther King Jr., many other historical figures have also been subjected to similar vulgar videos, prompting people to reflect on the ethical boundaries of AI technology in content creation. When facing these issues, OpenAI stated that it will implement more content restrictions on Sora, aiming to provide copyright holders with more detailed content management controls.

However, OpenAI has taken a relatively relaxed approach to content management in ChatGPT, a strategy that has drawn different opinions. Although there are risks, some believe that the flexibility and creative capabilities of AI should not be overly restricted. OpenAI's move shows its emphasis on protecting the image of historical figures, indicating their concern for technological ethics.

In addition, OpenAI is also actively exploring the application of new technologies, hoping to find a balance between innovation and responsibility. As technology develops, the regulation of AI-generated content will become an important issue. The public is also full of expectations, hoping to enjoy the convenience of technology while protecting the images of great people who have left a deep mark in history.

OpenAI's decision is not only a respect for the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., but also a deep consideration of the future direction of AI content generation. How to maintain a balance between innovation and ethics remains a challenge for technology companies.
