00:00Hi, I'm Theo and this is People on the Street.
00:02Today I'm out in Manchester asking people about deepfakes.
00:04And since they entered the public sphere, there have been some large-scale misuses of them.
00:08From a fake voice of Keir Starmer apparently telling someone off before the election
00:12to fake photos of Taylor Swift that led to a court case.
00:15We want to know if people are worried, whether they've changed the way they use their image.
00:18It's too late necessarily for me in terms of my images, but it's made me think a lot more
00:23if I had kids I wouldn't post their photos.
00:27I wouldn't post their faces because where it is now versus where it could be.
00:33I'm working on ARK at the minute, Laurie Anderson's ARK.
00:38And that has a kind of segment about how AI can be used to change the narrative in politics
00:46with Donald Trump, etc.
00:48Everyone who's got Facebook and Instagram, it's kind of too late for them.
00:52But I guess for the next generation or the next kids that is,
00:56then it's worth maybe being a bit more cautious of what you put out there.
