From cybercriminals using deep fakes to apply for remote work positions to artificial intelligence in China that can detect party loyalty, the latest technology can pose shocking questions about security, privacy, ethics and our democracy.

We examine the future of deep fakes. We’ve seen clumsy videos of politicians, easily debunked as fake. But what if they are indistinguishable from the real thing? What are the implications for our democracy?

Plus, in a new experiment, robots trained on AI repeatedly identified blocks with a Black man’s face as a “criminal.” Why is it so hard to eliminate bias in AI?
