READING:

Actor Tyler Perry is worried that AI will cause job losses in Hollywood. As an example, he said he had plans to spend $800 million on making his studio bigger. He has delayed this. Instead, he will wait to see what impact AI has on jobs. He told "The Hollywood Reporter" website about his worries. He said: "There's got to be some sort of [rules] in order to protect us [from AI]. If not, I just don't see how we survive." He said OpenAI's new text-to-video tool, Sora, made him delay his project. He said it was, "on hold because of Sora and what I'm seeing."

Sora can generate videos up to a minute long. The user types a prompt, and the software creates a video. It can also make a video from a photo. Sora is a Japanese word, meaning "sky". The New York Times said the name shows Sora's "limitless creative potential". Tyler Perry knows AI will be useful in film-making. However, he said: "It makes me worry so much about all of the people in the…industry who would be affected by this, including actors…and editors." He added: "I'm thinking this will touch every corner of our industry."
