Abstract

In recent years, there has been an exponential growth in developments aimed at the creation of textual, graphic, audio, and audiovisual content using artificial intelligence. These extraordinary technological achievements offer huge potential opportunities but, at the same time, are vulnerable to certain questionable uses that constitute real threats. This paper examines recent initiatives targeting the simulation of human writing, the creation of deepfake videos, voice cloning, and the generation of images from text prompts. Then, the potential benefits of these developments as well as the main dangers resulting from their misuse are discussed
