Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
Production-grade generative video with native audio and massive adoption, but self-admitted physics errors, short duration, and unresolved rights/provenance risk make it a creative tool, not a world-model substrate
Next
Evaluate Sora 2 API for short marketing/explainer clips only, with C2PA-aware provenance and a likeness/rights checklist; do not rely on it for physics-faithful simulation or digital-twin fidelity
