Back to EpisodesTesla's FSD is switching to a subscription-only service, the Senate passed the Defiance Act to address Grok deepfakes, and the UK scrapped its digital ID requirement for workers
Description
-Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on his X platform that the company will stop selling its $8,000 Full Self-Driving option and make it strictly a monthly subscription service after February 14.
-The DEFIANCE Act lets the subjects of nonconsensual, sexually explicit deepfakes take civil action against the people who create and host them. Deepfakes are a known issue online, but without the proper protections, easy access to AI-powered image and video generation tools has made it possible for anyone to create compromising content using another person's likeness.
-The UK government has backtracked on a plan to require all workers to have a digital ID following a backlash. It will no longer be mandatory to register with the digital ID program to prove one has the right to work in the country.
