A troubling new video that appears to show Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot performing in a short porn film has shed startling light on what could happen when machine learning falls into the wrong hands.
As if we needed more evidence that we’re living in an episode of Black Mirror, a new technology now allows users to face-swap porn stars with their favorite celebrities, creating fake porn that looks really, really real. As reported by Motherboard, the AI technology works like advanced Photoshop: users select a video of a celebrity and superimpose his or her face face onto the body of a porn star. The result makes it seem as if Daisy Ridley is speaking to the camera or if Jessica Alba is slowly taking off her clothes, and if done well, there’s no way to tell whether the video is real or not–whether it’s, shall we say, real or fake news.

The app, called FakeApp, uses deepfakes' algorithm, but doesn't require any knowledge of coding.
Starlets Emma Watson, Daisy Ridley, Katy Perry and Cara Delevingne have all shown up in doctored videos on the site.
Reddit user deepfakeapp is behind the new application and told Motherboard that he hopes to build a library of public data that can easily be swapped into any video at any time.
'Eventually, I want to improve it to the point where prospective users can simply select a video on their computer, download a neural network correlated to a certain face from a publicly available library, and swap the video with a different face at the press of one button,' the user told Motherboard.
The future is now, and it is frightening. (Decider.com)
