Artists Manuel Sainsily and Will Selviz collaborated with OpenAl to demonstrate how artificial intelligence (AI) can be a powerful tool for cultural preservation. They created a new short film using text-to-video with OpenAl's Sora, which showcases the potential of Al to authentically represent and celebrate diverse cultural elements. They've crafted a visually stunning narrative that deeply respects the cultures it portrays, which stands in stark contrast to uses of Al that have sometimes missed the mark in representing cultural nuances. This collaboration with cultural experts is a significant step forward for the ethical use of Al in creative fields. OpenAl is setting a new standard for responsible, inclusive use of technology. I have long championed the importance of both technology and cultural preservation, and I am inspired by this approach that exemplifies how innovation can be guided by ethical considerations. It also shows how ethical Al can enrich our understanding of diverse cultures and avoid stereotyping or misrepresentation. The work of Sainsily, Selviz and OpenAl reminds us that the future of technology should uplift and honor all voices. Their project pushes the boundaries of what's possible but also respects and preserves the richness of our global cultural heritage.
