Tom Hanks issues warning about AI ads for 'wonder drugs': 'Do not be swindled''

AI expert Marva Bailer explains how, even though there are currently laws in place, the average person has more access than ever to create deepfakes of celebrities. Tom Hanks warned fans of false ads using his name, likeness and voice to promote "wonder drugs," claiming the companies were using artifical intelligence to scam consumers. Hanks shared the "public service announcement" on Thursday on Instagram. "There are multiple ads over the internet falsely using my name, likeness and voice promoting miracle cures and wonder drugs," Hanks wrote in the statement. "These ads have been created without my consent, fraudulently and through AI." Tom Hanks has appeared in several projects that use artificial intelligence, including "The Polar Express" and "Here."
