On Monday night local time, Walt Disney Company and the OpenAI team were collaborating on a project related to OpenAI's artificial intelligence video tool Sora. A person familiar with the matter said that just 30 minutes after the meeting ended, the Disney team suddenly received news that OpenAI would be completely abandoning the tool. OpenAI publicly announced this move on Tuesday. According to the person who requested anonymity to discuss the matter, "this was a surprising turn of events." However, two other individuals familiar with the matter stated that the transaction between the two companies was never completed, and no money changed hands.
