Dan Bongino: Welcome back to “unfiltered.” Folks, the next fight in the disinformation wars could be brewing from fake movie stars to TV
shows. Deepfake technology is suddenly everywhere.
[♪] Music Plays: ♪ ♪ ♪♪ ♪♪♪ ♪
Dan Bongino: He can sing. Now even businesses are worried about the potential for deep fakes to be used during video calls. Morgan
Wright, thanks for your time. These deep fakes are so convincing. But the problem goes both ways. I could do a video of Morgan Wright that’s
not you and have you do all kinds of terrible stuff. But some of these videos could be real and deepfake technology so convincing that it creates a
whole bevy of problems.
Morgan Wright With deepfake technology, you might prove that it’s not true an hour later, it doesn’t matter the initial damage is done.
The damage is done. Imagine what happens. We know it’s going on in Russia and Ukraine. But you said earlier. You said I am doing it if
I had the skill. If you upload enough video you can make somebody say or do something. It’s deepfake as a service. It’s simply upload
this stuff. I worry about stuff around nation state actors that use it for extortion. Imagine in our military, you have a military leader and you
make it look so convincing that they say we are going to blow up x. Now, people believe that. And Dan, the problem is, even if you prove its not
true later, there will be a percentage of people who... To this day, there are people who still think 9/11 is an inside job. That Bush did it.
You will have a certain percentage of people, even if you debunk it and disprove it, they will believe the deepfake.
Dan Bongino: Yeah, that I was going to get to that. Yeah, this is a real national security threat. Isn't it? I can’t imagine the
secret service being sent a video giving that you think is from a protectee, and in fact its a deepfake video giving you instructions you should have not
gotten. This is a real threat.
Morgan Wright:Think about how tense things are with China and Taiwan, and with Russia and Ukraine. Imagine a video comes out with Xi Jinping
or Vladimir Putin. Where they said we have had enough, we are dropping a nuke on you. Do you not reply to that? It’s going to get to the
point that it will be tough to know, is it real or Memorex. Was it live or was it a deepfake. We have to come up with ways to show this is
authentic video. I worry things will be done to national security from a political standpoint that a video purports to come out showing some dastardly
thing an opponent has done. They don’t have time to react to it because the damage from the deepfake is already done.

Press Release: Global Flying Taxi Market Size Expected to $16.05 Billion by 2028 with CAGR of 28.4%
NEW YORK, NY, - EINPresswire.com: Rising demand for faster means of transportation is a major factor driving flying taxi market revenue growth.
The global Flying Taxi market size is expected to reach USD 16.05 Billion in 2028 and register a revenue CAGR of 28.4% over the forecast period, according to
the latest report by Reports and Data. Rising need for more enhanced and faster mode of transportation in urban areas is driving Flying Taxi market
revenue growth. Urban population is increasing globally leading to ever-increasing on-road traffic. Therefore, for distances of more than
20 kilometers, a Flying Taxi acts as an attractive solution to a conventional taxi, as it can bypass the congested roadway on the ground.
Increasing investments in research & development activities by major players to develop better battery technologies in order to extend the distance that
the Flying Taxi can be flown to is also expected to drive market revenue growth.
Aerospace companies and startups have started to shift focus towards flying taxis from science fiction to reality by partnering and merging with startups
and other companies involved in manufacturing of flying taxi. For instance, in February 2021, United Airlines announced that it is investing USD 20
Million in an electric-aircraft startup and might buy 200 of the company’s flying taxis. The deal represents a step towards an environmentally
sustainable flight.
Major companies profiled in the global market report includes Airbus, Joby Aviation, Boeing, Dassault Aviation, Lilium, Volocopter GmbH, Kitty Hawk,
Embraer, Gulfstream Aerospace, and Hyundai.
Some Key Highlights from the Report:
- In January 2021, Hyundai partnered with the U.K. startup, Urban-Air Port, to develop urban Flying Taxi infrastructure. The project is based in Coventry, in central England and will show how air taxis work in urban areas. The startup was chosen by a government program to develop zero-emission flying vehicles and received USD $1.65 million grant to fund temporary installation of airport in Coventry city center.
- Software segment accounted for considerably large revenue share in 2020 owing to several companies working on developing advanced software programs to ensure safe and smooth operation workflow of flying taxi. Software also helps automate Flying Taxi without requiring a manual process.
- By passenger capacity, the 3 to 10 segment is expected to register significantly high revenue growth rate during the forecast period. Increasing automation in Flying Taxi is resulting in no need for pilots, thus making way for an extra seating capacity in the aircraft.
- 51 to 200 kms segment is expected to register considerably high revenue growth rate during the forecast period. Development of battery capacity, is expected to result in increase in the maximum distance that an aircraft can cover during the forecast period. In January 2020, Hyundai and Uber unveiled new electric Flying Taxi with 100 km range and a cruising speed of up to 290 km/hr.
- Market in North America accounted for largest revenue share in 2020. It is one of the most technologically advanced regions and has skilled workforce, which helped in development of flying taxi. Presence of prominent market players such as Uber, Boeing, and Kitty Hawk among others, is also contributing to high revenue share. North America’s first autonomous Flying Taxi demonstration took flight in Raleigh in January 2020. EH 216 is designed to work as a taxi service on preprogrammed routes.
