The big idea
AI face-swap and voice-clone apps are easy to use and easy to abuse. A 'funny' deepfake of a classmate can spread fast and follow them for years — even if you only meant it as a joke.
Some examples
- A deepfake without consent is wrong even if it's 'just a joke.'
- A voice clone that says cruel things can hurt someone's reputation forever.
- Sharing a deepfake is different from making one — both can be harmful.
- Asking before posting is the bare minimum, not a favor.
Try it!
Imagine someone made a deepfake of you. List three feelings you'd have. Use that as your rule.
