Anish Gupta, the CEO of the app Bron AI, released a video that features a person resembling James wearing a jersey with his nickname, Bron, and the number 23 . The character appears to be scrolling through players before stopping on Dillon Brooks, a longtime rival of James. Philadelphia 76ers forward LeBron James passes the ball during the second quarter against the Chicago Bulls at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia on Nov. 2, 2026. Hell nah, the character says.

Video shows AI likenesses of people linked to Pedro Sánchez's Socialist party appearing to admit to wrongdoing A political ad from Spain's main opposition party that used a deepfake video of the prime minister's wife has sparked outrage and set off a wider debate on AI, as the deeply polarised country gears up for general elections next month. Launched this week across the social media channels of the conservative People's party (PP), the video used artificial intelligence to manipulate the likenesses of various people linked to Pedro Sánchez's Socialist party and appeared to show them admitting to acts such as soliciting prostitutes and taking kickbacks. An AI-generated version of Sánchez's wife, Begoña Gómez, for example, speaks about receiving a university post thanks to her husband's job, while a deepfake of the former Socialist president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero speaks about hiding jewellery in a safe. Both lines are nods to ongoing investigations in which Gómez and Zapatero have denied any wrongdoing. The Socialist party was swift to respond to the video, which by Friday had racked up nearly 2m views.

Her likeness was created using AI imaging technology, including Google's Nano Banana Pro. Her likeness was created using AI imaging technology, including Google's Nano Banana Pro. She shimmered in Hollywood's silent movie era and lit up the first talkies - now Greta Garbo may be about to star in cinema's new AI age. More than a century after her screen debut and decades after her ashes were laid to rest in a Swedish woodland cemetery, the Hollywood superstar's descendants are ready to consider an AI version of her taking a 21st-century film role. Her likeness has already been reanimated for an advert for a Swedish industrial company, using AI generation technology.

YouTube's AI deepfake detection tool is now available to all creators 18 and older YouTube's AI deepfake detection tool is now available to all creators 18 and older In the coming weeks, YouTube is giving all creators 18 and over access to a tool that can detect whether their likeness has been copied and used in AI videos uploaded to the website. Team YouTube made the announcement on the platform's community page, explaining that their goal is to provide [users] with more peace of mind by giving [them] easy access to request the removal of unauthorized content. While the likeness detection tool is technically only available to creators, spokesperson Jack Malon told The Verge that anybody can use it. With this expansion, we're making clear that whether creators have been uploading to YouTube for a decade or are just starting, the'll have access to the same level of protection, Malon said in a statement. It's getting harder and harder to differentiate between real and AI videos these days, and the tool's wider availability could end up helping even ordinary people who suddenly find their faces used in potentially malicious or misleading AI videos.

Adult content creators are having their performances used without consent. This is just one way that AI now threatens their rights and livelihoods. When Jennifer got a job doing research for a nonprofit in 2023, she ran her new professional headshot through a facial recognition program. She wanted to see if the tech would pull up the porn videos she'd made more than 10 years before, when she was in her early 20s. It did in fact return some of that content, and also something alarming that she'd never seen before: one of her old videos, but with someone else's face on her body. "At first, I thought it was just a different person," says Jennifer, who is being identified by a pseudonym to protect her privacy. But then she recognized a distinctly garish background from a video she'd shot around 2013, and she realized: "Somebody used me in a deepfake."

Film-maker James Cameron and Disney are being sued by an actress who has accused the director of using her likeness as the basis for one of the lead characters in his hit film series Avatar. German-born US actress Q'orianka Kilcher, who is of indigenous Peruvian descent, alleged that in 2005 - when she was 14 - Cameron extracted her facial features from a photograph of her portraying Pocahontas in another film, The New World. In court documents filed on Tuesday in California, her team claimed Cameron directed his design team to use it as the foundation for the character of Neytiri, depicted on screen by Zoe Saldaña. BBC News has contacted Cameron and Disney for a comment. The Avatar movies contain a hybrid of live-action performance mixed with computer-generated characters.

Researchers show scammers are using AI-manipulated footage of celebrity interviews to trick users into sharing their personal data. Last week, Taylor Swift filed a trio of trademark applications to protect her image and voice. One is meant to cover a well-known photograph of the pop singer holding a pink guitar during a concert on her record-breaking Eras tour, while the two sound trademarks are for simple identifying phrases: "Hey, it's Taylor Swift" and "Hey, it's Taylor." The move comes as AI deepfakes continue to proliferate across social media. Any individual stands to have their likeness exploited in the creation of nonconsensual AI-generated material; earlier this month, an Ohio man was the first person convicted under a new federal law criminalizing "intimate" visual deceptions of this sort.

However,itseffectonknowledgegraph completion task remains unknown. We further compare the performance of ConE with one that does not use cone restricted rotation for modeling hierarchical relations, which we name asRotC. ConE w/o rotation is the model that applies restricted rotation in the whole embedding space for hierarchical relations. Due to larger number ofdimensions used persubspace, weuseoverlapping subspace strategytoassign relation-specific subspaces. One of the main benefits of learning embeddings in hyperbolic space is that it can model well even in low embedding dimensionalities.

Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey has trademarked his image and voice to protect them from unauthorised use by artificial intelligence (AI) platforms. Clips including his famous catchphrase alright, alright, alright from the 1993 film, Dazed and Confused, have been registered to the United States Patent and Trademark Office database, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports. It is the first time an actor has attempted to use trademark law to protect their likeness from AI misuse, his lawyers and an expert said. Stars across Hollywood and the music industry including Scarlett Johansson and Taylor Swift have endured a wave of fake video, audio and images online, created by AI tools. Lawyers for the Magic Mike star told the WSJ they had no current examples of McConaughey's likeness being manipulated by AI, but hoped the trademarks could be used broadly against any unauthorised copies of him.
