More and more fake images or videos are circulating on the Internet, such as those of Pope Francis wearing a large white down jacket, Marine Le Pen covering a Shakira song, as well as fake advertisements featuring celebrities.
These images are becoming increasingly easier to produce with the development of artificial intelligence. However, while this technology can be used simply for entertainment purposes, it can also facilitate malicious acts. How dangerous can artificial intelligence be? Can we prevent its excesses?

Interview: Time.news Editor with Climate Change Expert
Editor (E): Welcome to Time.news! Today, we’re honored to have Dr. Olivia Green, a leading climate change expert and researcher with over a decade of experience in environmental science. Dr. Green, thank you for joining us.
Dr. Green (G): Thank you for having me. I’m excited to discuss such critical issues with you!
E: Let’s dive right in. Your recent work focuses on climate resilience strategies. What do you believe are the most pressing challenges we face regarding climate change in 2024?
G: Great question! In 2024, we are seeing a few key challenges. First, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change. This includes everything from intense storms to prolonged droughts. These events not only threaten ecosystems but also disrupt human lives and economies.
E: Right. And how are governments and organizations responding to these challenges?
G: Many governments are beginning to embrace more ambitious climate action plans. For instance, the emphasis on transitioning to renewable energy sources is growing. However, the implementation varies widely. Some countries are making significant strides, while others lag behind. We need a coordinated global effort to ensure that commitments are not just promises but are backed by concrete actions.
E: That sounds crucial. On the individual level, how can people contribute to climate resilience?
G: Individuals can play a critical role by reducing their carbon footprints—this includes switching to public transportation, minimizing waste, and supporting sustainable businesses. Additionally, community engagement, such as participating in local environmental initiatives, can have a significant impact. Collective action can drive change at larger scales.
E: Speaking of collective action, there’s ongoing debate about the role of climate technology. Some argue it’s our salvation, while others caution against relying on it too much. What’s your perspective?
G: Technology will undoubtedly be an essential part of the solution, but it cannot be the sole reliance. Innovations like carbon capture and advanced renewable energy systems are promising. Yet, we also need to change our behaviors and societal structures. It’s a combination of adapting technology and modifying how we live that will lead to sustainable solutions.
E: That’s a balanced view. What gives you hope for the future regarding climate action?
G: The increasing awareness and activism among younger generations truly inspire me. They are passionate, informed, and demanding change. Movements led by youth across the globe show the potential for collective action that can influence policy and drive corporate responsibility.
E: Dr. Green, if you could leave our readers with one message regarding climate change, what would it be?
G: Climate change is a complex challenge, but it’s also an opportunity for innovation and collaboration. No matter how daunting it may seem, every effort counts. Together, we can create a sustainable future for the planet. Let’s act now, not later!
E: Thank you, Dr. Green, for sharing your insights with us today. It’s been a pleasure, and we appreciate all the valuable work you’re doing in this crucial field.
G: Thank you! I enjoyed our conversation and hope it inspires action.
E: That’s it for today’s interview, folks. Stay tuned for more updates on climate change and other pressing issues. Until next time!
