Former CNN anchor Don Lemon posted an interview he did with Elon Musk that was to have been the debut of a new talk show in partnership with X; instead that deal was canceled by Musk after the interview took place. Things got contentious during the discussion, with Musk saying at one point, “I don’t have to answer questions from reporters. Don, the only reason I’m doing this interview is because you’re on the X platform and you asked for it. Otherwise, I would not do this interview.” While Musk had initially agreed to support the show, Lemon said in a statement last week, “His commitment to a global town square where all questions can be asked and all ideas can be shared seems not to include questions of him from people like me.”

Following up on an announcement made in November, YouTube introduced a new tool in Creator Studio requiring creators to disclose to viewers when realistic content is made with altered or synthetic media, including generative AI. Examples of content that require disclosure include using the likeness of a realistic person, altering footage of real events of places, and showing a realistic depiction of fictional major events, like a tornado moving toward a real town. However, “We won’t require creators to disclose if generative AI was used for productivity, like generating scripts, content ideas, or automatic captions,” said YouTube in a blog post. “We also won’t require creators to disclose when synthetic media is unrealistic and/or the changes are inconsequential.”
