The Power of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an immensely powerful tool, allowing the creation of content that is indistinguishable from reality. This includes the ability to generate images and videos that look incredibly realistic, using neural networks trained on real-world data. However, the rise of AI also raises concerns, such as the spread of deep fakes capable of wreaking havoc and causing fraud. Legislation is being developed to address the risks associated with AI, as the line between reality and artificiality becomes increasingly blurred.
