Esto me parece terrorífico.
"Un hombre asesinado revive en la corte para perdonar a su verdugo" "En un juzgado de Arizona (EE UU) se permitió que compareciera una réplica generada por IA de Chris Pelkey, abatido a tiros en una discusión de tráfico"
Holy shit they identified Mr Deepfakes. The website has gone dark.
This article recounts exactly how they tracked him down.

Deepfakes are getting disturbingly good. @sciencefocus has more on the misleading videos where a person’s face or body has been digitally altered to mimic someone else — some of which now even have the appearance of heartbeats:
Uns Menschen kann man den Herzschlag buchstäblich am Gesicht ablesen. Diesen Umstand nutzten Forschende aus Berlin, um Deepfakes auf die Probe zu stellen.

#Betrüger in #Hongkong haben mithilfe von #KI und #Deepfake-Technologie eine #Videokonferenz inszeniert und so 24 Mio. Euro erbeutet.
Das Opfer dachte, es spreche mit echten Kolleg*innen, während alle anderen Teilnehmer KI-generierte #Klone waren.
Der Fall zeigt, wie raffiniert CEO-Fraud mittlerweile geworden ist.

We're finally living in an episode of 'Black Mirror'. You can create your own digital clone in seconds* and even resurrect your dead brother to say some wise words in a court case.
How creepy is that? Where does the data end up? Who else has access to 'your' face and video? Are people not worried about deep fakes?
I also read about a 13-year-old faking her mum's voice via AI to take sick days from school. She even used that voice to trick her dad. A true 21st-century Ferris Bueller, but I'm not laughing.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Does the AI hyping brigade not see any issues with this?

'Researchers from the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) at the University of Oxford have uncovered a dramatic rise in easily accessible AI tools specifically designed to create deepfake images of identifiable people, finding nearly 35,000 such tools available for public download on one popular globally accessible online platform, for example.'
Last May, someone pretending to be an attorney set up a video call between Accenture CEO Julie Sweet and the company’s finance head to discuss an unpaid invoice.
