I built him with AI, and I can make him say whatever I want. He's so convincing that he could fool my own mother. Here's how I built him-and what AI digital twins mean for the future of people."
"Deepfake yourself From the moment generative AI was born, criminals started using it to trick people. Deepfakes were one of the first widespread uses of the tech. Today, they're a scourge to celebrities and even everyday teenagers, and a massive problem for anyone interested in the truth.

A person born an only child created an AI digital twin that exactly duplicates clothing, home, facial expressions, and voice. The creator can control the twin's speech and behavior, making it convincingly mimic the original to the point of fooling close relatives.

Criminals used deepfakes to scam and blackmail victims. At the same time, some white-hat companies began adapting digital cloning technologies for beneficial, controlled uses.
