With AI-generated media growing more and more realistic, what chaos and dysfunction might AI-generated propaganda and deceptions lead to?

In our modern world, we rely on video footage. What happens when that foundational level of trust is stripped away?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jes\u00fas wonders what will happen when someone can \u201cshow a jury a video that shows you or I killing somebody\u2026 How do you know that&#8217;s not true?&#8230; You&#8217;re there, in the video.
