TECH: AI's New Name, Deepfake Bans & School Restrictions Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

Denmark is moving to become one of the first countries to give people explicit legal protection against unauthorized AI deepfakes, making it harder to share realistic AI-generated content depicting someone without their permission.

In this CNET opinion piece, the author argues that people should continue using the term "artificial intelligence" rather than adopting the Trump administration's preferred term,"super intelligence."

One U.S. school district has made a dramatic shift from restricting AI tools to actively incorporating them into classrooms and instruction. School leaders reportedly concluded that AI is becoming too important to ignore and that students will need to understand how to use the technology responsibly in college and the workforce.
