Humanity is changing with the constant evolution of AI, but are we truly prepared for what’s coming?

Two travel photos look real but are AI-generated, showing how hard it's becoming to spot synthetic media. As fabricated calls, speeches, and videos multiply, courts will need AI forensics to verify evidence. We're not ready for this.

Now this is a picture of me in New York, Times Square, New York. Lovely picture. Yeah. This is another picture of me in Paris.
Lovely AI picture.
Oh, okay. Then you've seen those two?
Yes.
I want to show you something. The real picture was actually taken— this is the real picture. So I was not in Times Square, not in that picture. Neither was I in Paris.
You got me on the Times Square one, but I didn't— I couldn't pick the Paris. I was speaking with a foremost colleague in the media space, and he was arguing with me that, oh, you will always be able to tell AI images apart. And this was like maybe 4 or 5 months ago, and I was telling him that, bro, a time is coming you won't be able to tell. But if your eyes see it, don't even believe it. Even if you experience it, it might not be real. We are getting to that time where we are going to every day question our senses as to what is real. And it's already happening. It's already happening. Now you have phone calls that never existed. You have full speeches that never existed, video evidences. Now we're getting to a time whereby any video in court is going to be subjected to forensic experts, and it's not even going to be human forensic experts, it's going to be AI forensic experts. And now it's going to now be a battle of who has the biggest and better AI. So humanity as we know it is about to change. It already has. Do you think we are prepared enough for this? No, we are not.
