FKA Twigs Developed Her Own Deepfake

FKA Twigs said she's developed an AI deepfake version of herself, revealing the tech in a Senate testimony advocating for AI regulation.

“I will be engaging my AI rwigs later this year to extend my reach and handle my online social media interactions, whilst I continue to focus on my art from the comfort and solace of my studio,” Twigs wrote. In his testimony, Kyncl implored the lawmakers to introduce a bill containing three statutes: an enforceable intellectual property right for likeness and voice, respect for important First Amendment principles, and deterrence measures that would discourage unethical AI use. Unauthorized uses of artists’ voices and recordings to train models and create AI-generated music has riled the industry, most notably last year when the anonymous songwriter Ghostwriter went viral for his song “ Heart on My Sleeve,” which featured AI vocals of Drake and the Weeknd.
