Jay Z tries to use copyright strikes to remove deepfaked audio of himself from YouTube

Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z has become an unlikely source of inspiration within the budding community of artificial intelligence-powered impersonation, known colloquially as deepfakes, and the rap icon’s record label has taken notice and issued copyright strikes to shut some of it down.

 

It’s not that Jay-Z is being maligned without his consent, as a majority of deepfakes tend to do by pasting the head of female celebrities and other women onto the bodies of adult film actresses. Rather, this is the world of safe-for-work, audio-only deepfakes that dabble mostly in parody, as well as putting on display the awe-inspiring technical sophistication the field has produced in just a few short years time.

I've heard the navy seal one and it's actually really good. There's a couple of examples linked in the article. It's not 100% perfect but it's pretty good.

Deepfakes. One of those technologies that has a clear double edge sword issue. Really funny and has its place, possibly in the film industry. However though its use can be really perverted into something fairly awful. Though it is funny to see Jay Z trying to fight this.
