Celebrity AI deepfakes are flooding the internet. Hollywood is pushing Congress to fight back
Steve Harvey is best known for awarding money to “Family Feud” contestants or dishing out advice on his radio show.
But in recent years, he’s also become a popular target of AI-generated memes, many of which are humorous and seemingly harmless — like depictions of Harvey as a rockstar or seen running from demons.
More sinister actors, however, are using AI-generated versions of Harvey’s image, voice and likeness for scams.
Last year, Harvey was among celebrities like Taylor Swift and Joe Rogan whose voices were mimicked by AI and used to promote a scam that promised people government provided funds.
