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.\"
