Good news for Android users – OpenAI has just launched its Sora video-making app on your phones, about a month after iPhone owners got their hands on it.

On Tuesday, the company announced that people in several countries, including the US, Canada and Japan, can now download Sora on Android. There's a small catch though – you'll need an invitation code to actually use it. So it's not quite open to everyone yet, but it's getting there.

What's Sora all about?

Remember how ChatGPT made AI chatbots go mainstream? Well, OpenAI is hoping Sora will do the same thing for AI-generated videos. It's pretty straightforward to use – you simply type in what you want to see, and the app creates a short video for you. Then you can share it with your friends, just like any other social media content.

Has it been popular?

Absolutely. When Sora first came out on iPhone, it shot straight to the number one spot on Apple's free app downloads within days. Right now, it's sitting at number five, which is still really impressive. OpenAI has been busy adding new features too, like letting you combine different videos together and create the same character appearing in multiple clips.

But there's been some drama...

Unfortunately, it hasn't all been smooth sailing. People are quite rightly worried about a few things:

• Fake news spreading – realistic AI videos could make it really easy to spread false information
• Deepfakes – some users created videos of real celebrities without asking permission
• Copyright issues – there are questions about whether these AI-generated videos break any laws
• Inappropriate content – things got particularly messy when people made disrespectful deepfake videos of Martin Luther King Jr. OpenAI had to step in and stop people from creating any videos of him

What's OpenAI doing about it?

The company says it's taking these concerns seriously. They've beefed up the safety features in the latest version (Sora 2) to make it much harder to recreate someone's voice or appearance without their permission. They've also made it easier for families of famous people to request that their loved ones can't be used in these AI videos.

It's still early days for Sora, and like any new technology, there are bound to be some teething problems. But it's clear that AI-generated video is here to stay – the question now is how we use it responsibly.
