In today's episode, I dive into the disturbing rise of political violence, focusing on the recent assassination attempts on Donald Trump and why it's unacceptable regardless of political views. I also explore Elon Musk's reposting of Kamala Harris deepfakes and argue that while free speech laws may protect this, we urgently need a new constitution dedicated to AI-related laws and rights.
In today's episode, we take a hard look at the alarming issue of political violence, focusing on the recent assassination attempts on Donald Trump. I explain why, regardless of political differences, violence has no place in our society, and those who celebrate it are misguided. Then, we dive into the controversy surrounding Elon Musk’s reposting of AI-generated deepfakes of Kamala Harris and explore how California’s new law could regulate this type of disinformation. While I believe the Supreme Court will strike down this law due to free speech protections, I argue that it's high time we establish a new constitution that specifically addresses the unique challenges AI brings, from speech laws to digital rights, because soon it may become impossible to distinguish between what's real and what's not.
