By Nina Muslim KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 14 (Bernama) – About five years ago, I downloaded an app that took people’s photos and made videos of them singing songs from the app’s collection. I shared the app with my colleagues and we were soon watching videos of politicians and pets belting out ‘I will Survive’ by Gloria Gaynor, laughing our heads off at the sight. Fast forward five years, and the deepfake technology behind my cats’ stint as R&B singers is anything but a laughing matter. Using digital tools to manipulate photos and create non-consensual pornography is nothing new. But the deepfakes and generative artificial intelligence (AI) have grown by leaps and bounds in the space of a few years, and are being used to produce realistic-looking sexual imagery.
