Tom Hanks has issued a stern warning to his followers after an AI-generated video featuring his image circulated the internet.
that a clip starring a computer-generated image of himself promoting a dental plan was fake and made without his permission or knowledge.
“BEWARE!! There’s a video out there promoting some dental plan with an AI version of me. I have nothing to do with it,” the 67-year-old actor captioned a screenshot of the AI image used in the hoax, but refrained from providing specific details about the dental plan being promoted in the video.
“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 “We saw this coming. We saw that there was going to be this ability to take zeros and ones inside a computer and turn it into a face and a character. Now that has only grown a billion-fold since then, and we see it everywhere.”Hanks went on to express his concerns about the “lingering” use of AI in his industry, as fans may not be able to distinguish between the fake image and the real actor.
“I can tell you that there [are] discussions going on in all of the guilds, all of the agencies, and all of the legal firms to come up with the legal ramifications of my face and my voice — and everybody else’s — being our intellectual property,” Hanks said in the podcast.He continued: “Anybody can now recreate themselves at any age they are, by way of AI or deep fake technology… I could be hit by a bus tomorrow and that’s it, but my performances can go on and on and on.
