OpenAI’s new Sora reached approximately 627,000 downloads on iOS in its first week but the milestone quickly turned sour as deepfake videos of celebrities, historical figures, and copyrighted characters flooded social media. Families of Robin Williams and Martin Luther King Jr. have condemned the unauthorised AI re-creations, while studios and estates demand OpenAI protect likeness rights. One person who is well placed to talk about this in Ken Jon Miyachi the Co-Founder of BitMind, a deepfake detection company focusing on social platforms.

I recently caught up with Ken and he spoke about his background, deepfakes, AI, social media and more.

More about BitMind:

BitMind is dedicated to the future of trustworthy, scalable AI. they are building an orchestration layer that accelerates the deployment of AI models across decentralised networks, empowering developers to contribute to groundbreaking projects like Bittensor Subnet 34—the world’s first decentralised deepfake detection system and a keystone of our mission.
