Director Damien Chazelle’s latest film, Babylon, focuses on a time of significant change and turmoil in Hollywood history. The movie (see what Eric Eisenberg thought about the epic ) tells the story of the transition from silent cinema to “talkie” and how this change has changed the lives of some actors. So naturally, during press for the film, the cast was asked in an interview what the “next big thing” in the industry would be. Almost everyone (especially Margot Robbie and Jean Smart) has expressed concern about AI-generated deepfakes and the implications of using the technology on the future of movies.
Margot Robbie joined some of her peers Babylon co-star in a go around the table interview for the video series, in which he revealed that he just discussed his fear of deepfakes with fellow actor Diego Calva. the suicide squad The actress said she dreads the day studios could take on the faces of actors, rendering their work obsolete. Robbie told EW:
And we think, are they going to take our heads off and we won’t even go back to work? Very strange.
At first glance, it might seem that the I, Tony the star is extreme. However, what he fears is much closer to reality than science fiction. Recently Bruce Willis retired from acting due to his diagnosis of aphasia. However, the action star has appeared in fake ads and rumors that she was selling your infringement rights He ran around. Scary indeed.
Margot Robbie wasn’t the only one commenting on the potential impact deepfakes could have on the future of cinema. Jean Smart joked that the only way she would allow her likeness to be used is for her children to “get rich.” the designer women The actor seems to lighten the situation by saying he doesn’t want to appear in any future adult films. However, it’s not hard to read between the lines and see that she too seems concerned about the prospects of using AI-generated imagery in her image. smart said:
Unless my kids get rich. Of course. In this case, then everything is fine. [joking]. I don’t want to be in 3000 year old porn.
Deepfake uses digital technology and many images of stars (found online and in movie databases) to create an image or video of a famous person and place it on another understudy actor. You can make it look like the actor is doing almost anything. In this Tom Cruise Deepfake the video looks like Mission Impossible star enters a room before tripping and falling. The implications of this technology are deeply troubling. Major Hollywood studios have also used this same deepfake technology old classic characters for example, Princess Leia in the Star Wars universe.
The use of deepfakes in pornography has become widespread and raises the issue of consent. A few years ago we were shooting a feature on the comedienne Kristen Bell’s feelings about the many explicit deepfakes of herself posted on adult content sites without her permission. The actress revealed that she thinks deepfakes should be part of a larger conversation about sex, adult websites, and the types of content they can post on their sites.
While fake celebrity porn images have been circulating the internet for a long time, I think the relatively new phenomenon of deepfakes should be held harder, not just by celebrities, but by the average person as well. As technology improves, making deepfakes increasingly difficult to distinguish from real images, and as technology becomes increasingly accessible to the average individual, it becomes apparent that the implications could be catastrophic.
In a world where revenge porn has become so ubiquitous, what would stop those with bad intentions from putting an unwitting participant into compromising situations with the help of artificial intelligence? Fortunately, as of 2022, most states have revenge porn laws, which make it illegal to produce and distribute pornography without consent. Why should adult content generated by AI without the consent of all participants be any different?
Deepfakes are scary and we should all be paying close attention to the technology and its implications. If there are future updates regarding the laws surrounding the use of AI technology, we at 24 News Bulletin will keep you updated. Babylon now he is acting in theaters.
