Using AI to make a fake version of someone’s voice or face is like a mischievous puppet master making a puppet look and sound exactly like you, and then making it say or do things without your permission.


Why It Matters

This topic matters because scammers are using AI to trick people, sometimes by making fake videos or audio that sound just like someone they know. For example, the article mentions that actors like Tom Hanks have had their voices or likenesses used by AI without their permission, which can confuse fans and spread false information.
