Google’s new AI video model, Veo 3, can now generate highly realistic video and audio, making it difficult for viewers to distinguish between real and fabricated content. While the technology enables rapid and lifelike media creation, experts warn of rising risks to public trust, especially in journalism, politics and law. CBC News tested Veo 3 and found it could easily produce believable yet false content, including political messages and misinformation, despite Google’s safeguards. As deepfake quality improves and becomes more accessible, concerns are growing over how AI-generated media could be weaponized or misused.
