The Download: China's monkeypox crisis, and fighting AI photo manipulation

The World Health Organization reports that China is currently experiencing the world's fastest increase in cases of mpox (formerly known as monkeypox)--and it needs to act fast to contain the spread. The countries that have successfully contained mpox outbreaks have mostly done so thanks to proactive measures like vaccination campaigns. The problem is, the Chinese government has barely started to take action. Generative AI is making it ridiculously easy to manipulate people's images.
