Blockchain Technology to Protect Digital Identities
The Tom Cruise “deepfake“ videos that went viral on TikTok sparked the creation of an AI software company, Metaphysic. Co–founder Tom Graham wants people to be more aware of the technology and how they can protect their digital identities. Blockchain technology, which is immutable, may be the perfect tool to do this. Graham believes that distributed systems that help individuals manage their own identity is an important step in the process of empowering individuals to be in control of who they are in this emerging hyper–real metaverse. With blockchain technology, individuals can protect their digital identities and be in control of their online presence.
AI-Generated Content: Ethical Challenges
London–based startup, recently funded with $7.5 million, is developing infrastructure and technology to expand artificial intelligence–based content. However, CEO Graham is determined to do so in an ethical, safe and responsible way. This may be a challenge, as AI–generated content such as deepfakes could be crossing an ethical line. Deepfakes are a form of manipulated media that can make anyone appear to be doing or saying anything. With the rise of AI–generated content, it is important to consider the ethical implications of this technology and how it can be used responsibly.
Deepfake Tom Cruise: A Controversial Art Project
The ethical line is a tricky one to walk for any company, and this is especially true for the company behind the Deepfake Tom Cruise videos. The project was initially started as an art project by co–founder Christopher Ume, with the purpose of raising awareness about manipulated media and its potential. The videos quickly gained traction, and the team contacted Tom Cruise‘s team, who ultimately did not have an issue. This project has been both controversial and entertaining, and it is sure to continue to be a topic of conversation.
Protecting Your Identity in the Digital Age
Tom Cruise may have the resources to protect his identity in the digital age, but what about the rest of us? With the rise of AI–manipulated images, anyone can become the next TikTok sensation without their consent. To protect regular people, Graham, CEO of a company at the forefront of this issue, believes that finding a way for individuals to own and control their identities should be our central purpose as a society. His company is working to provide individuals with the tools to protect themselves in this emerging future. Don‘t let your identity be taken away from you – take control of it in the digital age.
