"The Trump administration appears to be using both types. Last weekend, Trump posted an AI video to Truth Social that looked a lot like a real Fox News segment describing a new healthcare program about to be rolled out to Americans. The video featured the president's daughter-in-law Lara Trump describing "medbeds," or futuristic health pods (think the health pod in Prometheus) that can do anything from curing cancer to growing back lost limbs."
"I'm Mark Sullivan, a senior writer at Fast Company, covering emerging tech, AI, and tech policy. This week, I'm focusing on Donald Trump's recent AI-generated videos, which he (or his staff) posts on Truth Social. I also look at world models, the successor to large language models, and at OpenAI's new Sora 2 model, which is also the anchor for a new social app."
AI-generated videos are becoming more prevalent in political communication, spanning both polished deepfakes and low-quality synthetic clips. A recent example mimicked a Fox News segment promoting mythical "medbeds," fantastical health pods rooted in QAnon-originated rumors that claim cures and limb regeneration, plus a membership card and hospital rollout. The implausibility of those claims served as an indicator of artificial generation. Improvements in video-generation models are making synthetic footage harder to distinguish from real footage. Emerging AI developments include world models as potential successors to large language models and OpenAI's Sora 2 serving as an anchor for a new social app.
