About this episode
AI video creation software is advancing rapidly and some of its output is very alarming. OpenAI’s Sora, currently the most downloaded app in the App Store, allows users to create incredibly realistic deepfake videos with minimal effort. One viral example? A fake video of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shoplifting in a department store. With technology this convincing, how can we trust what we see online? And what kind of destabilizing impact could this have on our society?
