Critical work by the @UKHouseofLords, especially considering the last few tweets I posted over the weekend > The UK says it can’t lead on AI spending, so will have to lead on #AI ethics instead https://t.co/BvIo2YZjd2

5/ Over the weekend, I used a $3 consumer-grade app to demonstrate how #AI can turn a still picture of mine into an ultra-realistic video of me doing something I never actually did.

Here’s a 2nd example w different moves

These events never happened

@0xF2 They are two trombones interconnected.

@krishnan People won’t freak out about #AI until it’s their face in the experiment. That’s why I used mine rather than a random one. When you look at yourself and you realise that those events never actually happened, and yet it’s really you, it’s a chilling moment.

4/ And given that non-verbal language is way more powerful than verbal one, this implies that #AI can be used to manipulate targets (both the main actor and the audience of the video).

What happens when this exists (and it’s broadly available) & fake news is legally prosecuted?

3/ Now imagine what could be done with something even marginally more sophisticated than a $3 consumer-grade app.

#AI has the power to modified people’s behaviour captured in videos and convey completely different meanings associated to an audio. Or different words altogether.

2/ This is the #AI animated version of the still picture in the previous tweet.

Notice that I never did any of those facial movements or looked around as it appers. Everything was arbitrarily decided by me with 2min tweaking on the app UI. https://t.co/FwXWWswuLW

1/ For the ones that are not enough concerned about the implications and misuse of #AI, here’s an experiment that anybody can do with a $3 consumer-grade app.

I took a random picture and then animated with a personalised AI model. Result in the next tweet. https://t.co/dzvBHr7maw
