🌐 EU Passes Landmark AI Law as Gen Z Debates Tech's Future
The European Union just raised the curtain on the world's first major AI regulation, voting to approve its AI Act this week. Meanwhile, OpenAI's text-to-video wizard Sora is rewriting the rules of creativity—and sparking urgent conversations about deepfakes and jobs.
🎬 Lights, Camera… AI Action?
From generating HD video scenes 🎥 to animating still images, Sora's skills could revolutionize filmmaking. But tech experts like Professor Siwei Lyu warn: \"AI-forged content is getting dangerously convincing,\" citing fake Taylor Swift ads and deepfaked cricket legends.
💼 Gen Z's Verdict: Cautious Optimism
When CGTN asked students worldwide, responses were mixed:
🚀 \"We need to ride the AI wave, not fear it—use it to boost learning!\"
🛑 \"My future job? Could AI take it? That's scary.\"
Many agreed: The key is balancing innovation with safeguards.
🔮 What's Next?
As the EU's new rules target high-risk AI systems, Gen Zers are demanding:
✅ Better deepfake detection
✅ Ethical AI development
✅ Workforce training programs
One student put it best: \"AI won't replace us—but it'll redefine how we work.\" 💡
