Disney just announced a three-year licensing deal with OpenAI, including a $1B investment, that opens the door for Sora and ChatGPT users to generate content featuring characters across Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. The agreement gives OpenAI limited access to Disney IP, and internally, Disney teams will start using OpenAI tools to help build new products. At the same time, Disney sent Google a cease-and-desist this week, alleging Google’s AI models are pulling from Disney content in ways that violate copyright.
