Disney has signed a three-year licensing partnership with OpenAI, with the first year being exclusive. This deal allows OpenAI to use Disney's characters in its Sora video generator. After the exclusive year, Disney can partner with other AI firms. The partnership helps Disney explore generative AI. On the same day, Disney sent a cease-and-desist letter to Google for copyright infringement.
