Futurist and tech commentator Sinead Bovell joins host Elamin to talk about the potentials — and pitfalls — of Sora.Remember this time last year when the best thing Artificial Intelligence could conjure was a confusing — and mildly terrifying — video of Will Smith eating spaghetti?
Upon closer inspection, it's easy to tell that the video above is AI generated. The pedestrians are walking far too slowly, the woman's face is wobbly, and the images reflected in the puddles on the ground don't look quite right. To Bovell, the Sora generated video that impresses her the most is of the grandmother who was blowing out candles on her birthday cake because it feels like she was there in the room with the grandmother.
"Now you can not only clone somebody's voice and create an image of them not doing something that never happened. You can have the deepfake video to go with it," says Bovell. "I think we all are a little scared by what happened to Taylor Swift with the AI generated imagery and what happens to many other victims. Now imagine that sort of content, but in video and also with some of the biases that are baked into these systems.
