Uh oh! Here's yet more AI that creates creepy fake talking heads

Experts have raised ethical issues surrounding this technology before. The Malicious AI report focused on fake videos to make people believe false information, and could jeopardize political security. The paper doesn't address these concerns too much. But it did say that pushing the limits of this technology and democratising "calls for additional care in ensuring verifiable video authenticity, e.g., through invisible watermarking." Justus Theis, a coauthor of the paper and a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Munich, in Germany, told The Register that he recognized the potential dangers of using AI to manipulate fake videos.
