From KQED From KQED From KQED in San Francisco, I'm Mina Kim. Coming up on forum, it's relatively easy to generate fake images and videos these days, for fun or for subterfuge.

The software known as Dali takes any words you type in, like purple kitten snorkeling in the style of Monet and creates it from scratch. Cute, right?

But what happens when we're not asking for cute?

And the result is misinformation or disinformation?

What are the ethical concerns of this kind of technology?

UC Berkeley deep fake expert, Honey Farid, joins us to share his fears and hopes for this new frontier.

Welcome to Forum. I'm Mina Kim.

When our producer Caroline typed Purple Kittins snorkeling in the style of Monet into online software inspired by image generator Dali. It spit out images of cats or cat-like blobs that looked like they were swimming among Monet's famous water lilies.

Now, if the idea of anyone creating images that never existed before in a matter of minutes or seconds excites you or gives you pause, you can tell us why by emailing forum at kQED.org or posting on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
