AI ON MY MIND

Yesterday, I saw a mind-blowing video where a woman's face was cloned using AI. Her AI clones weren’t just made; they were actively spreading propaganda across Chinese social media.

She had no idea this was happening until someone in China reached out to inform her.

It’s terrifying.

Her likeness was stolen and used to spread misinformation without her consent.

The truth is, we can’t turn back the clock on AI. So, how do we protect ourselves from this kind of violation?

Start by understanding what we’re facing.

Scroll down to watch the video I saw.
