Episode description

This episode explores the growing concerns around the misuse of AI technology. We dive into President Biden's State of the Union comments calling for stricter regulation of AI to combat deepfakes and protect privacy. Then, we discuss the disturbing case of two Florida middle schoolers arrested for creating deepfake nude images of their classmates using an AI app - a first in the U.S.

The segment examines the legal complexities and lack of clear laws governing AI-generated explicit content, as well as proposed legislation like the DEFIANCE Act aimed at cracking down on deepfake porn. An eye-opening look at the urgent need for guardrails as AI's capabilities rapidly evolve.
