This outcry follows the release of Sora 2, an updated OpenAI platform that allows you to create realistic deepfakes. Although the app prohibits the use of images of living people without permission, these restrictions do not apply to the dead. As a result, users are already creating videos featuring historical figures and deceased celebrities such as Robin Williams, John Lennon, Martin Luther King, etc. in media articles.
OpenAI did not comment on the news, but under US libel laws, slandering the deceased (dissemination of defamatory information) is not prohibited, so the company is unlikely to be held liable.
