Artificial Intelligence in Internet content – The Stute

Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision have resulted in the ability to create'fake people.' These people are either generated entirely from scratch by an AI or are made by digitally altering the appearance of actors that appear similar to them. A movement called RepresentUS recently tried to publish deep fake advertisements on several news outlets such as CNN and Fox News. The advertisements depicted Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, both stating that Americans need to act in order to protect their democracy. The news station did not let these advertisements run and took them down shortly before being posted.
