Tom Hanks Warns Fans About ‘Wonder Drug’ Online Ads That Use His Likeness ‘Through AI’: ‘Do Not Be Fooled. Do Not Be Swindled.’


Tom Hanks issued a warning to fans about 'wonder drug' online ads that use AI to feature his name, likeness and voice: 'Do not be fooled.'

These ads have been created without my consent, fraudulently and through AI,” Hanks wrote in the post, titled as a “public service announcement.” It’s not the first time that the actor has warned others about ads that use AI-generated versions of his likeness to advertise less than veritable services. Without government regulations in the United States, unauthorized deepfakes have become a rising source of misinformation on the internet and continue to pose risks of reputation to public figures who could be imitated.
