LeBron James' lawyers demand creators of neural networks to stop generating videos with him

Representatives of the legal team of NBA basketball club Los Angeles Lakers Lebron James demand to stop creating videos where the athlete is depicted in sad situations using neural networks. This information was published on the website of 'Glaicom' and 404media.

Videos appeared on social media where LeBron is shown in unseemly situations, such as being pregnant or homeless. This caused an unexpected reaction and demands from the athlete's legal team.

LeBron's representatives reached out to the founder of the artificial intelligence platform FlickUp, Jason Stacks, requesting to stop the violations. The company decided to remove all realistic images of people from the Interlink AI software.

Currently, LeBron has already become NBA champion four times and is the league's all-time leading scorer. Additionally, he has won the Olympic gold medal three times with the USA national team.

Previously, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warned about potential misuse of artificial intelligence for fraud, particularly for voice and image imitation of individuals. The situation became even more serious after reports emerged of scammers using voice imitation to deceive, including attempts to use the voice of the US Secretary of State to contact politicians.

Lawyers demand the removal of LeBron James' image from generated videos, which has caused outrage on social media, and warn about the potential use of artificial intelligence for fraud and deception. This has triggered a serious reaction from the athlete's team and generates discussion about the ethical use of technology in the media space.
