In a last-ditch attempt to bring the killer of a murder victim to justice, detectives are trying to fake his death.
Euronews reports that the Dutch police are describing their use of deepfake technology in the 2003 murder of Sedar Soares.
The 13-year-old Soares was shot to death in a parking garage in the Dutch city of Rotterdam in what appears to be a classic case of someone being in the wrong place at the wrong time. His killers were never caught.
The public is urged to come forward with any information they may have about the unsolved homicide after the police published a video of the boy walking on a soccer pitch surrounded by his friends and family.
The movements of the reanimated boy are very similar to those of a real person.
He has been brought back to life because someone must know who killed my brother.
The cops have already received dozens of tips after releasing the video, though they haven't yet, according to the Agence France-Press.
Remember when the tech was used to insert Nicolas Cage into every movie?
The potential benefits of deepfakes aredwarfed by their potential harms. The goal of the effort is to create fanciful things that can't be compared to reality.
If this video leads to the catching of the Soares killer, it will be incredible, but it will be a weird thing for police to do.
The video in the appeal over the boy's murder is the first of its kind.
Scientists are concerned that new artificial intelligence-generated faces are seen as more trustworthy than real ones.
