_“In the past couple of years, we’ve witnessed the proliferation of generative AI text and image generators, but video feels even more high-stakes. Historically, moving pictures have been more difficult to falsify than still ones, but generative AI is about to change all that. There are many potential abuses of such technology. Scammers are already using AI to impersonate people’s friends or family members’ voices, in order to trick them out of money.”_
