Ask Elon Musk’s incomprehensibly massive and powerful AI machine, DOJO, what are the most important affairs of the week. Yes. Give that some minutes. How about, just for fun (or is it), see Elon Musk asking King Charles to replace the UK government. Technically he has the power; question is does he have the proverbial stones?

Just a couple words on the hot topic of AI generated deep fakes. How about you flying the space shuttle? Me painting the Mona Lisa? Steven giving a tennis lesson to Djokovic?

Perhaps you saw the Pope standing on the beach in a puffa jacket last year. Social media went a tad bunkers over that.With social media becoming the opium of choice for the masses, information and disinformation can and trigger sometimes destructively strong reactions.

With this said, deepfakes aren’t given the attention they need, at least not according to technology expert Patricia Gestoso-Souto who said: “As for deepfakes, I wish I could see more action where it matters, for example non-consensual sexual deepfakes, which account for 96% of all deepfakes – but unfortunately, the progress is very slow.”

We will be talking to Patricia and other experts over the coming few weeks about this. We will continue writing and delivering expert talks and videos on many aspects of technology and how those impact our lives now. And in the future!
