What if the next video you watch—of a politician, a celebrity, or even your best friend—isn't real?
In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we dive into the explosive rise of AI-powered deepfakes and ultra-realistic video tools like Veo 3. These platforms can turn a single line of text into a flawless, lifelike video. The potential for creativity is staggering. The potential for harm? Even greater.
Here's what you'll discover:
-

Philosophical curveballs: If seeing is no longer believing, what does authenticity mean in a digital-first world?
