Many people are falling victim to the explosion of AI videos, where their images are used - without consent - to create content sometimes with dubious motives.

00:00About a month after Olga Loyek started her YouTube channel, she began receiving some
00:06very strange messages.
00:09People were asking her if she spoke Mandarin.
00:13The 21-year-old Ukrainian initially thought it was a joke, but then she decided to watch
00:18some of the videos people were sharing with her.
00:24Olga's image is being used to spread Russian propaganda and to sell Russian products in
00:42China.
00:43Here she translates one of the videos into English.
01:00Olga has discovered she has multiple digital doppelgangers, none of whom actually exist.
01:07One of them appears to be a Russian woman named Natasha, who says she wants to support
01:12Russia's war by selling products from her homeland.
01:22Olga says one company in China told her that some 5,000 videos have been created with her
01:28face on their platform alone.
01:31Exmov is a company in China that develops advanced AI technology.
01:37It says the tech behind such deepfake videos is very common in China.
01:42The company was not involved in Loyek's situation, but the CEO, Jim Chai, says the videos show
01:49just how easy deepfakes are to produce.
01:53Actually, the only AI technology used here is lip-syncing.
01:58So if ordinary people don't pay attention to the lips, they may not notice the difference.
02:05The explosion in the number of deepfake videos appearing online clearly demonstrates how
02:10easy they are to produce.
02:13And experts say as the technology improves, the problem is only going to get even bigger.
