Reb Eli Stefansky of Mercaz Daf Yomi (MDY) addressed concerns surrounding the organization's recent use of artificial intelligence-generated videos during his Daf Yomi shiur on Tuesday morning, November 10, acknowledging that some of the content had crossed appropriate boundaries.

Speaking during his Bechoros Daf 53 shiur, Reb Eli announced that MDY would step back from producing such videos while working to establish a vaad familiar with the sensitivities of the community to oversee future content.

The announcement follows the use of AI-generated videos intended to bring Daf Yomi learning to life. While the technology has provided new opportunities to present Torah-related material, concerns have emerged regarding the appropriateness of certain productions.

Reb Eli's remarks reflected an effort to address those concerns while ensuring that future content remains consistent with the standards and expectations of the communities MDY serves.

MDY's daily shiurim continue to reach thousands of Yidden worldwide, helping make Daf Yomi accessible and engaging for a growing audience.
