Tech Tuesday: Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality

Artificial Intelligence, or Al, is changing the way we think about news and technology. A newly developed software using audio clips to create fake video renderings was debuted last year.

The video highlights concerns concerned the capabilities of AI, and what this could mean for the recurring topic of "fake news." What we commonly know as "gay-dar" or the ability to determine someone's sexuality based off appearance has been actualized by a new artificial intelligence program.
