OpenAI today announced that it has reached an agreement to bring back Sam Altman as CEO and appoint new board members after nearly all of its employees threatened to quit over his surprise sacking. Minutes after Sam Altman announced his decision to return as OpenAI CEO, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said they have discussed the matter and agreed that this is 'a first essential step' to build a 'more stable, well-informed, and effective governance' in OpenAI.

It's getting easier to manipulate images but there's little financial incentive for companies to invest in tools to detect fakes.

There's little legal or financial incentive to invest in deepfake detection, leaving consumers in the dark.
