AI Advances Make Celebrity Deepfakes a Growing Concern
-
AI can easily mimic celebrities to create fake endorsements and songs. Tools like Stable Diffusion and Nvidia tech make convincing fakes easy to produce.
-
Watch for odd distortions, perfect symmetry, unusual proportions, unnatural textures and lighting as signs an image is AI-generated.
-
Most AI image generators watermark their creations. Reverse image search and AI detection tools can help uncover fakes.
-
Audio deepfakes of celebrity voices are also on the rise for false endorsements and spam calls.
-
Be skeptical of unfamiliar products pushed by celebrities. Vet reviews thoroughly. Social media sites do little to curb AI scammers.
