#Zoom just changed their terms and conditions to include using anyone's video and audio for training #AI with no option for opting out. You too can help train #deepfake s!
Living with a disabled spouse, I used Zoom a lot to get through the ongoing global pandemic.
What alternatives are out there for remote teaching/meetings? #BoycottZoom
So some of you might remember this post (and the subsequent demonstration on national news) of using a voice cloning tool (AI, Audio Deep Fake) by @racheltobac
(If you haven't seen it, go watch it. Rachel is amazing.)
I'd never needed to do a similar attack before, but! I was just tasked yesterday with researching it.
Asked some friends for a turn-key solution to clone voices. Got pointed to a website. Signed up for $1 a month (first month... then it goes to $5 a month thereafter).
Pulled some audio of my mark down from a youtube interview (a podcast works great too).
Only needed a minute's worth of audio.
Uploaded it to the website for cloning.
Typed out a quick script for the voice to read.
30 seconds later, I had my cloned audio.
It was so good, that it even included natural voice inflections AND!!! verbal pauses like umm's and uhh's that matched the mark's original presentation. I can't tell the difference between the cloned voice and the original person.
Y'all... voice cloning and audio deep fakes are well past the ease of "script-kiddy" level. Anyone can do it.
“What Tesla is contending is deeply troubling to the Court […] Their position is that because Mr. Musk is famous and might be more of a target for deep fakes, his public statements are immune […] In other words, Mr. Musk, and others in his position, can simply say whatever they like in the public domain, then hide behind the potential for their recorded statements being a deep fake to avoid taking ownership of what they did actually say and do.” https://www.npr.org/2023/05/08/1174132413/people-are-trying-to-claim-real-videos-are-deepfakes-the-courts-are-not-amused #Deepfake#ElonMusk
The Taylor Swift AI deepfakes are horrific. They are also just the tip of the iceberg.
Resharing my WIRED story from December, that shows the number of non consensual (they all are) AI porn videos has grown at an alarming rate—244,625 videos at the time of writing. That doesn't include the thousands of still AI images being created every single day
As AI technology has advanced—as well as becoming easier to use and having more realistic outputs—this problem is only getting worse. Many reporters, myself included, have written about this since 2017 and in that time technology companies and lawmakers have failed time and time again to take this seriously
In Spanien berichten zahlreiche Mädchen, dass KI-generierte Nacktfotos von ihnen in der Schule zirkulieren. Der Fall wird jetzt zum nationalen Skandal – weil die Mütter der Betroffenen sich organisiert haben, um gegen die verantwortlichen Mitschüler vorzugehen.
Es ist immer wieder erstaunlich wie Männer (ab frühster Jugend) Möglichkeiten finden Technik zu pervertieren um Frauen, Mädchen und Kinder zu sexualisierenund zu terroisieren..
Kaum fängt #KI an abzuheben, wissen sie nichts besseres zu tun als damit Nacktbilder und Pornovideos von Ihnen bekannten Frauen herzustellen. Zum Spaß oder um sie zu erpressen.
So gerade unter Schulkindern! passiert in Spanien. Und das ist sicher nur die Spitze des Eisberges.

TikTok: KI-gestützte Krypto-Währung-Abzocke nimmt zu
IT-Forscher beobachten einen Trend auf TikTok, bei dem KI-generierte Deepfakes berühmte Personen imitieren. Die Betrüger wollen Opfer um Krypto-Besitz bringen.
Apple has removed a number of AI image generation apps from the App Store after they were found to be advertising the ability to create nonconsensual nude images.
Apple’s actions come following an investigation by @404mediaco, which found adverts for these apps being pushed on Instagram. The apps were only removed when 404 Media provided links to them and their related ads to Apple, indicating “the company was not able to find the apps that violated its policy itself.”
Here's an #AI tool that arrives just in time: The PRISA media group has created an audio #verification and #deepfake detection service for voices in Spanish.
Their goal: Support #journalists (e.g. when covering election campaigns) and foster trust in the face of #disinformation.
Remarkable: The creators also address the problem of powerful people claiming their voices have been cloned after saying something embarrassing.
Hab was Besonderes vorbereitet für meinen Vortrag heute Abend über Desinformation, KI und Deepfakes in Stuttgart. Mehr verrate ich jetzt noch nicht, aber es wird ein Spaß!
19 Uhr in der wunderschönen Stadtbibliothek. Kommt doch vorbei, wenn ihr in der Nähe seid - ich freue mich!
A girl in the UK allegedly took her own life the other day because of #deepfake bullying and this story shows how it is spreading rapidly. Do you think the inventors of GANs even appreciate, let alone express concern over, the fact that their tech now has a body count attached to it that will inevitably grow?

The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, appeared briefly lost for words on Thursday when confronted with an AI-generated deepfake of himself....
