What happened
Two documentaries, "Deepfaking Sam Altman" and "The AI Doc," examine AI's societal impact. Adam Bhala Lough's "Deepfaking Sam Altman" features an AI clone of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, created after interview rejections, citing Altman's prior use of Scarlett Johansson's voice. "The AI Doc," by Daniel Roher and Charlie Tyrell, interviews Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, and Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis, exploring AI's utopian and dystopian potentials. These films coincide with a $12 trillion market value increase across seven major tech companies since ChatGPT's November 2022 release.
Why it matters
AI's market valuation and ethical implications create tension, impacting investment strategy and product development. Investors and founders must assess the $12 trillion market value increase in major AI players since November 2022 against public and regulatory narratives of risk. CTOs and legal teams face immediate challenges from digital identity and deepfake technologies, as demonstrated by the Sam Altman AI clone, requiring proactive policy development for IP and consent. This follows Sam Altman's recent statements accelerating AGI timelines, underscoring rapid technological and ethical shifts.
