AI-generated video made a huge leap this month, but how could it be misused?

My first thought was, whoa, followed very closely by my second thought of oh this is going to impact a lot.

It's Monday February 26 and don't worry we've got you covered it's science Friday.

Earlier this month, Open AI previewed its newest AI product called SORA, which can produce

extremely realistic video from just a text prompt.

And unless you're an eagle-eyed AI expert,

from those shot on a drone or a smartphone.

but the fidelity of these videos prompted a polarizing response

on social media with some marveling at how far the tech has come, while others expressed alarm at the unintended

consequences of releasing such a powerful product to the public, especially during an election

year.

Rachel Tobek, an ethical hacker and CEO of Social Proof Security, joined guest

host Sophie Bushwick to talk about SORA and what it could mean for the rest of us.

Rachel, what was your reaction when you first saw these videos?

My first thought was, whoa, I am super impressed with how realistic they are,

followed very closely by my second thought of, oh oh this is going to impact a lot. I mean just

It was terrible.
