Deepfake videos of the Royal Family are on the rise as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to campaign against the use of some forms of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

AI-generated videos have gone viral with clips featuring the late Queen playing video games alongside Princess Diana, as well as shoplifting and raping.<\/p>\n

Other videos include Diana serving esquites, a traditional Mexican street snack made of grilled corn, and her professional wrestling debut as she entered the ring.<\/p>\n

The voices in the videos are AI-generated, made to sound just like the late royals’ posh tone.<\/p>\n

The AI voice of the late Queen can be heard saying: “Run heavy, but I keep it cocked. Jewels in the pocket, tea kettle locked.<\/p>\n

“Came out the palace straight to the block. Slippers on concrete, still I won’t stop.”<\/p>\n

There have also been plenty of AI-generated videos featuring other prominent royals, including King Charles, Prince William and Princess Kate.<\/p>\n

Harry and Meghan were recently motivated to join celebrities in signing a letter calling for a ban on the development of “superintelligent” AI.<\/p>\n

The letter, addressed to multiple tech companies, including Google, Meta and OpenAI, called for a “prohibition on the development of superintelligence, not lifted before there is broad scientific consensus that it will be done safely and controllably, and strong public buy-in”.<\/p>\n

It explained the concerns about superintelligence, “ranging from human economic obsolescence and disempowerment, losses of freedom, civil liberties, dignity and control, to national security risks and even potential human extinction”.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry noted: “The future of AI should serve humanity, not replace it. <\/p>\n

“I believe the true test of progress will be not how fast we move, but how wisely we steer. There is no second chance.”<\/p>\n

The new generation of royals faces fresh challenges with the development of AI, amid campaigns of misinformation circulating online.<\/p>\n

Last year, intelligence agents in Wales identified 45 social media accounts, linked to Russia, allegedly focused on amplifying online rumours and conspiracies about Prince Kate’s absence from public life.<\/p>\n

British authorities alleged: “[Those involved were behind] a vast malign online network, also commonly known as Doppelganger, which plagues social media with fake posts, counterfeit documents and deepfake material.<\/p>\n

“These deceitful tactics are designed to mask the truth around Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine and distract from the true nature of the war.”<\/p>\n

Director of the Security, Crime and Intelligence Innovation Institute at Cardiff University, Martin Innes, told NBC News and the New York Times: “It’s not as though these Russia-linked accounts were driving the story; they were jumping on it.<\/p>\n

“It was already being framed in conspiracy terms, so foreign actors don’t need to set that frame; that’s already there to exploit.<\/p>\n

“It’s about destabilisation. It’s about undermining trust in institutions: Government, monarchy, media, everything.<\/p>\n

“These kinds of stories are ideal vehicles by which they do that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Deepfake videos of the Royal Family are on the rise as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":533344,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[1281,447,5105,7710,519,448],"class_list":{"0":"post-533343","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-meghan-markle","9":"tag-prince-harry","10":"tag-royal","11":"tag-royal-families","12":"tag-royal-family","13":"tag-royals"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115452099202199204","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=533343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533343\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/533344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=533343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=533343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=533343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
