American actor Tom Hanks and TV presenter Gayle King have alerted their fans to the circulation of two commercials that use their looks and voices, thanks to artificial intelligence techniques, without their consent.
Last Saturday, Hanks wrote on his Instagram page: “Beware. “I had nothing to do with it.”
Hanks posted a screenshot of the video clip in question.
As for Gayle King, who anchors the morning show on the American channel CBS, she posted a similar warning on Instagram the day before yesterday.
“Even though I have nothing to do with this company, people send me this video and ask me questions about this product,” he wrote in a comment on a video in which he promoted a weight-loss product.
King also released an original video based on Scammers, in which he promoted a radio show on August 31.
He added: “They manipulated my voice and video to make it look like I was promoting this product. I have never heard of this product nor have I used it,” he concluded: “Don’t fall into the trap of these videos based on artificial intelligence.”
Gayle’s specific video was posted by a user named artypet, but a search on Instagram and Google turned up no results mentioning this food item.
Over the years, artificial intelligence has made it possible to resort to “deep fakes,” that is, manipulating images and sounds to make their owners say or do things that don’t actually happen.
These deep fakes were unrealistic at first, but they have become more realistic with the advent of artificial intelligence, which allows us to create all kinds of content, including video, based on a simple request in everyday language.

Tom Hanks has warned against using artificial intelligence to fake his photos in advertisements
BBC
Published on: Tuesday, October 3, 2023 – 8:03 AM | Last Updated: Tuesday, October 3, 2023 – 8:03 am
American actor Tom Hanks has warned that an ad featuring his image is actually a fake ad based on artificial intelligence.
“There is a video promoting some dental program and using my version of AI,” the actor wrote on Instagram.
But he said it had nothing to do with me.
Hanks has previously spoken out about the challenge artificial intelligence poses to the arts, and the issue has been at the center of recent strikes by major actors and writers in Hollywood.
As artificial intelligence systems become more powerful and sophisticated, concerns have grown about their ability to create more realistic versions of real people — sometimes called a “deepfake” or translated into Arabic as “deepfake replicas,” which is usually a fake video. A clip of a famous or infamous personality. It spells unusual words, and has been used in US elections, the Russian-Ukrainian war, and more.
Similar versions of many celebrities, including consumer finance expert Martin Lewis, have been used in ‘deepfakes’, which are often used to trick people.
The use of deepfake technology in pornography is sometimes used as a form of revenge, prompting tougher laws in England and Wales to make it easier to prosecute criminals.
AI-powered fake photos and videos of politicians add to the problem of online misinformation. Those targeted include former US President Donald Trump and Ukraine’s current president, Volodymyr Zelensky.
In September, Google announced that it would have to disclose whether political ads displayed on its site were generated using artificial intelligence.
AI video processing software can be used in controversial ways – for example, pioneering virtual concerts featuring the band ABBA.
One of the things Hanks discussed during an appearance on The Adam Buxton Show in May was the potential of using artificial intelligence to promote and promote artists’ careers.
“We expected this to happen, and we expected the zeroes and ones of programming languages in computers to be converted into faces and letters. It has since multiplied a billion times and now we see it everywhere,” he said. .
And, “Anyone can redraw and reshape themselves at any age through artificial intelligence or deep fake technology. Tomorrow I might get hit by a bus and it’ll all be over for me, but the scenes of my image and personality will go on. Go on and on.”
Fears that artificial intelligence will replace movie stars and actors have fueled a wave of strikes that have disrupted Hollywood with series like Stranger Things and The Last of Us.
The Writers Guild of America, which represents screenwriters, recently reached a tentative agreement with studio executives to end their strike.
However, a separate dispute involving actors — driven in part by concerns about artificial intelligence leading to fewer acting jobs — remains unresolved.
