  * Artificially mimicking people's voices and selfies. Fortune magazine has been publishing recent articles about "deepfakes" and combating them. Artificial intelligence algorithms put convincing speech into video and audio clips. For example, "revenge porn" has been constructed by pasting women's heads onto porn actress bodies. There is also potential for fraud by impostors. See: [[https://fortune.com/2019/07/24/fighting-deepfakes-gets-real/|https://fortune.com/2019/07/24/fighting-deepfakes-gets-real/]] and [[https://fortune.com/tag/deepfakes/|https://fortune.com/tag/deepfakes/]]
