The OpenAI Sora protest is just a taste of what’s coming in 2025 – here’s what needs to change

The recent protest against OpenAI by its unpaid beta testers has once again demonstrated that the goals of well-funded AI companies are often at odds with the goals of the artists whose time is used in testing or whose work has been used to train the AI in the first place.
