Tyler Perry Pauses $800M Studio Expansion Due to OpenAI's Sora Demo

Filmmaker Tyler Perry has put an $800 million studio expansion on hold after witnessing the capabilities of OpenAI's AI video generator, Sora, which can create high-definition video clips from written descriptions. Perry expressed concerns about the potential impact of AI on the entertainment industry, fearing that it could make traditional production methods obsolete and jeopardize jobs across various sectors, including actors, crew members, and more. He called for regulations and government action to address the potential existential risk posed by AI technology to the industry and human employment overall.
