"The rise of generative AI and 'deepfakes' -- or videos and pictures that use a person's image in a false way -- has led to the wide proliferation of unauthorized clips that can damage celebrities' brands and businesses."
"Talent agency WME has inked a partnership with Loti, a Seattle-based firm that specializes in software used to flag unauthorized content posted on the internet that includes clients' likenesses. The company, which has 25 employees, then quickly sends requests to online platforms to have those infringing photos and videos removed."
This company Loti has a product called "Watchtower", which watches for your likeness online.
"Loti scans over 100M images and videos per day looking for abuse or breaches of your content or likeness."
"Loti provides DMCA takedowns when it finds content that's been shared without consent."
They also have a license management product called "Connect", and a "fake news protection" program called "Certify".
"Place an unobtrusive mark on your content to let your fans know it's really you."
"Let your fans verify your content by inspecting where it came from and who really sent it."
They don't say anything about how their technology works.
Hollywood celebs are scared of deepfakes. This talent agency will use AI to fight them.

A Tech Accord to Combat Deceptive Use of AI in 2024 Elections
Generative #AI could be #listening to your #phone #calls and #hijacking them with fake biometric #audio for #fraud or #manipulation purposes, according to new research published by Security Intelligence. In the wake of a Hong Kong fraud case that saw an employee transfer US$25 million in funds to five bank accounts after a virtual meeting with what turned out to be audio-video #deepfakes of senior management, the biometrics and digital identity world is on high alert, and the threats are growing more sophisticated by the day.
A blog post by Chenta Lee, chief architect of threat intelligence at IBM Security, breaks down how researchers from IBM X-Force successfully intercepted and covertly hijacked a live conversation by using LLM to understand the conversation and manipulate it for malicious purposes - without the speakers knowing it was happening.
"Alarmingly," writes Lee, "it was fairly easy to construct this highly intrusive capability, creating a significant concern about its use by an attacker driven by monetary incentives and limited to no lawful boundary."
"It's now illegal in the US for robocallers to use AI-generated voices, thanks to a new ruling by the Federal Communications Commission."
"In a unanimous decision, the FCC expands the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, or TCPA, to cover robocall scams that contain AI voice clones. The new rule goes into effect immediately, allowing the commission to fine companies and block providers for making these types of calls."

Commentary on AI from Feminist Lily Alexandre. As AI gets more and more "human" and humans start to actually prefer AI to other actual humans, it makes humans "less human".
"George Carlin estate sues creators of AI-generated comedy special in key lawsuit over stars' likenesses."
Once again I'm bringing you all news from The Hollywood Reporter. Is this going to become a regular thing?
"The lawsuit, filed in California federal court Thursday, accuses the creators of the special of utilizing without consent or compensation George Carlin's entire body of work consisting of five decades of comedy routines to train an AI chatbot, which wrote the episode's script. It also takes issue with using his voice and likeness for promotional purposes. The complaint seeks a court order for immediate removal of the special, as well as unspecified damages."

How can the coming flood of technological progress, which will not stop at current developments such as big data-based and algorithmically generated statistical models with their astonishing capabilities and failures - i.e. current #AI systems - but lead to a further acceleration of innovation with increasing technological performance in computing? Today, we are thinking about an epistemic #crisis of world #knowledge in times of #deepfakes, #surveillance and bioweapons through AI, while brain-computer interfaces and quantum computers are already appearing on the horizon today. At the same time, #climate #change is probably the most outstanding of all crises, which has already been showing its first effects for several years and is setting new records with constantly rising #emissions. In short, how can we ensure that the coming real-life version of what is commonly referred to as "Singularity" turns out for the good of #humanity?

Deepfakes - Mediale Glaubwürdigkeit in Gefahr
Deepfakes bedrohen die mediale Glaubwürdigkeit. KI-Forscherin Maria Pawelec fordert deshalb Maßnahmen von Politik, Plattformen - und dem Publikum.#MEDIEN #Deepfakes #KI
Deepfakes als Betrugsmasche
Dieser Streik ist etwas Großes
Der Streik der Drehbuchautoren, der SchauspielerInnen und .... in Hollywood ist mehr als das übliche Geplänkel um Tantiemen. Erstens sind diesmal wirklich viele Berufsgruppen vertreten und zum anderen geht es noch um ein "Randthema", von dem zu befürchten ist, dass es für viele Menschen - befürchtet wird, dass 300 Millionen ihre Arbeit an eine KI verlieren werden - in unserer Gesellschaft zu einem Problem werden kann: die künstliche Intelligenz.
Nun sollte man erwarten, dass bei Arbeitskämpfen die Unternehmen mit den Gewerkschaften verhandeln müssten. Vorher wollen die Unternehmen gern noch klären, welche Angebote ihnen die KI machen kann und was sie evtl. zu befürchten haben. Darüber verhandeln jetzt Google und der Medienkonzern Universal.
Nzz.ch benennt ein Kernproblem: Mit künstlicher Intelligenz generierte Songs mit den Stimmen von Stars sind für die Musikindustrie ein Problem.
Obwohl die Musikindustrie auch das letzte Quartal mit erfreulichen Zahlen abgeschlossen hat, nimmt der Anteil von künstlich generierter Musik stetig zu. Die Plattenfirmen verhandeln nun mit Google über Möglichkeiten, die Stimmen und Melodien von Künstlern für die Verwendung in KI-generierten Liedern durch eine Lizenzvereinbarung zu erlauben. Auf jeden Fall haben die Plattenfirmen nicht die Durchsetzungskraft das Generieren von Songs durch Netzsprerren zu bekämpfen. Daran ist ja schon Zensursula vor 10 Jahren gescheitert (Singen mit Zensi Zensa Zensursula ).
Außerdem ist das Ziel der Plattenfirmen Geld zu verdienen und sie sind auch nicht abgeneigt dafür KI zu verwenden, wenn die Einnahmen oder zumindest ein wesentliche Anteil in ihre Taschen gelangen. Deshalb wollen sie mit an Bord bevor sich das Schiff richtig in Bewegung setzt. Die KünstlerInnen und die anderen Streikenden bleiben bisher außen vor.

The Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) is a specification for both hardware and software for attaching metadata to every media file (images, video, audio, etc) and cryptographically signing it. The media can't be altered without voiding the cryptographic signature. You can alter the media, but the idea is the alterations will in turn also be logged and signed. The idea is, hardware like cameras and software like Photoshop will all do this. This will enable people to tell if something was generated by AI or altered by AI. The "provenance information" will tell the history of the media and indicate its authenticity. If it authentically came from InfoWars, you'll know that.

KI kann Stimmen recht genau nachmachen
Es gibt immer noch Menschen, die sich darauf verlassen, dass ihre biometrisch eindeutigen Merkmale so sicher sind, dass sie damit ihr Handy, das Auto oder die Haustür entsperren. Davor haben wir schon gewarnt als die Fähigkeiten künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) noch sehr bescheiden waren.
Inzwischen rappt eine KI wie Enimen und bringt dabei rassistische Texte hervor und Emma Watson, die brave Mitschülerin von Harry Potter liest angeblich aus Hitlers "Mein Kampf" vor. "Das waren noch Zeiten, als Tech-Vordenker die Voice-Revolution ausriefen und die Stimme zum fälschungssicheren Passwort erklärten" ... "Mithilfe von KI kann heute jeder Songs schreiben und Stimmen klonen. Algorithmen erkennen in Audiodateien spezifische Stimmcharakteristika und akustische Muster, die sie mithilfe eines statistischen Modells reproduzieren", schreibt nzz.ch.
Damit dürfen wir künftig keinem Wort glauben, das uns ein Politiker in einem Video erzählt, denn es könnte ein Deep Fake sein. Nicht nur für Journalisten wird das Leben schwieriger. Besonders in den Zeiten vor Wahlen müssen wir damit rechnen Opfer von Manipulationen zu werden.
Wieder müssen wir mit Wehmut an die Anfänge des Internets und die "Magna Charta for the Knowledge Age" oder die "Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" aus den frühen 90-iger Jahren denken, an die wir bereits vor 2 Tagen erinnern konnten ( Aneignung von allem durch Wenige ).

"Tencent Cloud announces Deepfakes-as-a-Service for $145".
Tencent Cloud has announced it's offering a digital human production platform -- essentially Deepfakes-as-a-Service (DFaaS).
"According to Chinese media and confirmed to The Reg by Tencent, the service needs just three minutes of live-action video and 100 spoken sentences -- and a $145 fee -- to create a high-definition digital human."
"Gestating the creation requires just 24 hours."

A week after hearing about this idea on The AI Dilemma, here it is in real life.
