Bogdan Botezatu explains how deepfake technology and vulnerabilities in internet-connected devices (IoT) pose serious threats to national security. He cites examples such as a fake video of President Zelensky during the Ukraine war and potential cyberattacks through internet-connected solar inverters that could trigger massive blackouts across Europe. Neil deGrasse Tyson concludes the segment with a humorous remark about reverting to coal power to avoid these growing digital risks.
