Panel 1
Alex: Hey Sam, did you see the news? Meta just got an order to remove those creepy AI-generated videos. Looks like the tech company forgot to put on its seatbelt.
Sam: That's a pretty big deal. They got a ‘supreme court’ telling them to do better. I don’t know how to fix it, but Alex, you’re an inventor, so it’s your problem now.
Panel 2
Robin (rushing in, holding a paper)
Robin: Guys, I just got a message! Meta’s ‘supreme court’ ordered them to remove those videos AND do more AI stuff. It’s like, ‘Hey, we’re watching you.
Alex: Great. Now I need to design a super powerful AI filter to catch these deepfake videos before they can go viral and make people cry over sicles.
Sam: We’re going to need lots of help and funding. Maybe we can make a game where people help catch these fake videos. A ‘Deepfake Detective’ challenge!

Robin: Curtain it is! But remember, Alex, we’re all techies here. We gotta make it fun and engaging so people actually play it.
Sam: And hey, let’s also work on that ‘Deepfake Detective’ challenge. Maybe we can spread awareness and catch these fakes before they become a big problem.
