The famous Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston has raised concerns about the growing misuse of technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI) and ‘deepfake’ videos. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK, Aniston expressed her shock at how her image is being falsely used to promote products, including weight-loss and collagen supplements.
‘It’s a train that’s gone off the rails. Friends keep notifying me about fake videos that sometimes look so real that I have to send them to my lawyers,’ said Aniston.
The problem doesn’t only affect public figures but also ordinary people who fall victim to scams. A British man, Paul Davis, was deceived into thinking he was communicating with Aniston and lost 266 dollars in gift cards. The scammer even used a fake driver’s license under the actress’s name.
