Artificial intelligence (AI) AI used to face-swap Hollywood stars into pornography films Images of Emma Watson, Daisy Ridley, Scarlett Johansson and others used to create fake adult films using advanced machine learning Emma Watson, Scarlett Johansson, Taylor Swift, Daisy Ridley, Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams have all been the subject of AI-assisted fake pornographic films. Composite: GuardianAdvanced machine learning technology is being used to create fake pornography featuring real actors and pop stars, pasting their faces over existing performers in explicit movies. The resulting clips, made without consent from the women whose faces are used, are often indistinguishable from a real film, with only subtly uncanny differences suggesting something is amiss. When the technology site Motherboard first reported on the user in December last year, they had already made images featuring women including Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot, Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson, and Game of Thrones actor Maisie Williams. But the computer science behind it is widely known, and a number of researchers have already demonstrated similar face swaps carried out using public figures from news footage.
