During the pandemic Jeremy Toeman tried – and, as he puts it, failed dismally – at editing a video preview of his podcast. That experience gave him the idea to create an AI-powered tool to help novices put together a video instantly. The Upgrade’s host Peter Bittner talked with Jeremy about his latest venture Aug X Labs and how to ethically build a new platform powered by generative AI in the age of deep fakes. This episode was recorded at the end of 2023 before the release of Sora, OpenAI’s video generator.
