A atriz pornô brasileira Elisa Sanches, 42, fez um testamento e registrou em cartório seu desejo de proibir que sua imagem seja usada em vídeos de deepfake após sua morte.

Elisa recorreu a essa medida após descobrir que seu rosto estava sendo usado em vídeos pornográficos que não foram protagonizados por ela, mas que foram fruto de inteligência artificial. Ao Extra, ela explicou que isso lhe deixou preocupada com o uso de sua imagem quando não estiver mais viva.

Death is no longer the end of an actor’s career, Tom Hanks theorized during a recent conversation on “The Adam Buxton Podcast” (via BBC). Why? Artificial intelligence and deepfakes, the actor said. Both technologies will be on full display at the Cannes Film Festival thanks to the world premiere of “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” which used AI to help de-age Harrison Ford so that he resembles his appearance from 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”

“The first time we did a movie that had a huge amount of our own data locked in a computer — literally what we looked like — was a movie called ‘The Polar Express,'” Hanks said, referring to Robert Zemeckis’ 2004 Christmas movie. “We saw this coming, we saw that there was going to be this ability to take zeros and ones from inside a computer and turn it into a face and a character. That has only grown a billion-fold since then and we see it everywhere.”

(ARTISTA a favor desde que lhe paguem...)

While some music artists and their labels are increasingly becoming wary of those using AI models to clone their voices, others are choosing to ride the wave and embrace an AI-filled future.

Experimental artist and futurist Claire "Grimes" Boucher, for one, is looking at the new trend as an opportunity.

"I'll split 50 percent royalties on any successful AI-generated song that uses my voice," the artist tweeted in response to a story about Aubrey "Drake" Graham's voice being cloned for a viral song. "Same deal as I would with any artist I collab with."

"Feel free to use my voice without penalty," she added. "I have no label and no legal bindings."

In fact, Grimes admitted she was already "making a program that should simulate my voice well" in a followup, "but we could also upload stems and samples for people to train their own."

Lil Durk has made it clear that all Artificial Intelligence deepfakes which are attempting to use his voice will never replace him as a warm-blooded, able-bodied superstar artist.

Speaking to HipHopDX about future technologies and his new NFT-centered phygital sneaker collection, NXTG3NZ, the OTF honcho said that although AI is going to change how people make music, it won’t replace humans.

“I heard them AI deep fakes usin’ my voice, it’s wild what tech be doin’,” Lil Durk told DX. “I think AI gon’ change how we make music, but ain’t nothin’ gonna replace the real deal, them raw vibes and emotions we bring. Just gotta make sure we use it right, ya know? Keep our essence alive.”

 "Keanu Reeves is terrified when it comes to acting and deepfake technology. During a recent interview with Wired ahead of the release of “John Wick: Chapter 4,” Reeved railed against deepfake technology making its way into Hollywood. “The Matrix” and “John Wick” actor even confirmed that he has a clause in every one of his movie contracts that prevents studios from digitally manipulating his performances.

“Yeah, digitally. I don’t mind if someone takes a blink out during an edit,” Reeves said. “But early on, in the early 2000s, or it might have been the ’90s, I had a performance changed. They added a tear to my face, and I was just like, ‘Huh?!’ It was like, I don’t even have to be here.”

Next year’s elections in Britain and the US could be marked by a wave of AI-powered disinformation, experts have warned, as generated images, text and deepfake videos go viral at the behest of swarms of AI-powered propaganda bots.

Sam Altman, CEO of the ChatGPT creator, OpenAI, told a congressional hearing in Washington this week that the models behind the latest generation of AI technology could manipulate users.

“The general ability of these models to manipulate and persuade, to provide one-on-one interactive disinformation is a significant area of concern,” he said.

“Regulation would be quite wise: people need to know if they’re talking to an AI, or if content that they’re looking at is generated or not. The ability to really model … to predict humans, I think is going to require a combination of companies doing the right thing, regulation and public education.”

The prime minister, Rishi Sunak, said on Thursday the UK would lead on limiting the dangers of AI. Concerns over the technology have soared after breakthroughs in generative AI, where tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney produce convincing text, images and even voice on command.

As generative AI developers such as ChatGPTDall-E2, and AlphaCode barrel ahead at a breakneck pace, keeping the technology from hallucinating and spewing erroneous or offensive responses is nearly impossible.

Especially as AI tools get better by the day at mimicking natural language, it will soon be impossible to discern fake results from real ones, prompting companies to set up “guardrails” against the worst outcomes, whether they be accidental or intentional efforts by bad actors.

AI industry experts speaking at the MIT Technology Review's EmTech Digital conference this week weighed in on how generative AI companies are dealing with a variety of ethical and practical hurdles as even as they push ahead on developing the next generation of the technology

Even worse, chatbots like ChatGPT are starting to generate realistic scripts with adaptive real-time responses. By combining these technologies with voice generation, a deepfake goes from being a static recording to a live, lifelike avatar that can convincingly have a phone conversation.

< CLONING A VOICE Crafting a compelling high-quality deepfake, whether video or audio, is not the easiest thing to do. It requires a wealth of artistic and technical skills, powerful hardware and a fairly hefty sample of the target voice.

There are a growing number of services offering to produce moderate- to high-quality voice clones for a fee, and some voice deepfake tools need a sample of only a minute long, or even just a few seconds, to produce a voice clone that could be convincing enough to fool someone. However, to convince a loved one – for example, to use in an impersonation scam – it would likely take a significantly larger sample.

ChatGPT has opened a new front in the fake news wars

Search engines with the latest ‘generative AI’ obscure the sources for their responses. The result is a breeding ground for disinformation, writes Jessica Cecil.

ChatGPT invented a sexual harassment scandal and named a real law prof as the accused
The AI chatbot can misrepresent key facts with great flourish, even citing a fake Washington Post article as evidence


One night last week, the law professor Jonathan Turley got a troubling email. As part of a research study, a fellow lawyer in California had asked the AI chatbot ChatGPT to generate a list of legal scholars who had sexually harassed someone. Turley’s name was on the list.
The chatbot, created by OpenAI, said Turley had made sexually suggestive comments and attempted to touch a student while on a class trip to Alaska, citing a March 2018 article in The Washington Post as the source of the information. The problem: No such article existed. There had never been a class trip to Alaska. And Turley said he’d never been accused of harassing a student.

A regular commentator in the media, Turley had sometimes asked for corrections in news stories. But this time, there was no journalist or editor to call — and no way to correct the record.
