  • Summary

  • Artificial intelligence is becoming a normal part of our everyday lives and some people think it will even replace people’s jobs. One industry that’s worried about this may surprise you: content creation. AI influencers are getting more popular online with hundreds of thousands of people following their (AI-generated) lives. They’re dishing out makeup tips, assisting with health advice and showing off their happy families. But can they ever replace real-world, human influencers?

    Jacqui Wakefield from the BBC’s disinformation team tells us about this trend. And, Sheri Al-Akhras from BBC Arabic describes her meeting with a famous AI family.
