This is very cool. I can get a lot of the skepticism here and almost certainly this technology can end up with unsavory results if abused. So perhaps that's my question -- how are you thinking about anti-fraud and anti-abuse at a high level? There's no HIPAA or CCPA for deepfakes yet, but one imagines that's only a matter of time. How are you planning to address this? Do you have any interest in having a hand working with lawmakers to develop this legislation to ensure responsible usage?

Absolutely! We're continuously researching and learning about how we can make technology such as ours safer. Currently our platform has a number of mechanisms to prevent abuse. We require explicit voice disclosure to perform any training on a voice/avatar as well as ensure ownership of a voice/avatar and resulting content is in the hands of the individual, not a company. This is in addition to limits put on how you can utilize our platform and what templates you can make. We totally expect there to be regulation for technology like this and we'd love to work with legislators to enforce responsible usage. We're working on the flip side of this technology as well- we're developing tools to detect generated video content in order to promote safer usage in the future.
