OpenAI's Sora platform has sparked outrage by creating deepfake videos of deceased celebrities like Robin Williams and George Carlin, prompting family members to call for restrictions due to concerns over desecration and legacy. While OpenAI allows estate representatives to request restrictions, the use of AI likenesses of the dead remains a contentious issue, raising legal and ethical questions about ownership and monetization of digital personas.
