A planned $1.0 billion investment by Disney into OpenAI is no longer moving forward and OpenAI will be shuttering its standalone Sora text-to-video app, an insider told Deadline. The reversal voids a deal Bob Iger negotiated with Sam Altman last year and removes a $1B strategic AI/content tie-up. This is a negative development for Disney's AI and content strategy, though it is likely to have limited near-term market impact on public equities.
