TECH - 'They Stole Everything:' Elon Musk's War With OpenAI Heats Up After Sora's Data Sourcing Doubts Emerge In CTO Mira Murati's Interview | Benzinga
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has accused ChatGPT-maker OpenAI of stealing “everything” after an interview of the company’s CTO Mira Murati posted online raised questions about its data sourcing.
What Happened: On Thursday, Musk took to X, formerly Twitter, to express his concerns about OpenAI’s data sourcing for its AI model, Sora.
In an interview posted on YouTube with The Wall Street Journal, Murati admitted to using publicly available and licensed data to train Sora. When asked about the specific sources, she was uncertain, sparking speculation that OpenAI might have used publicly available videos from platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.
Murati later confirmed that the licensed data included data from Shutterstock (NYSE:SSTK). The ChatGPT-parent extended the relationship with Shutterstock in 2023 for six more years.
In July, it was revealed that this partnership will allow the Sam Altman-led company to train its models using Shutterstock's extensive library of images, videos, music, and metadata.
