The man behind the viral Tom Cruise deepfake videos on TikTok believes the positive outweighs the negative when it comes to the technology that allows him to so convincingly impersonate the Hollywood superstar.
Miles Fisher, the Cruise lookalike who has fooled millions with his TikTok videos, spoke about the possibilities and downsides of the deepfake technology in an exclusive interview with NBC News correspondent Jacob Soboroff.
“As I find myself the unofficial face of this deep fake movement, it’s important to learn and I’m fascinated by this,” Fisher told Soboroff on TODAY Tuesday. “This is the bleeding edge of technology.”
“Deepfake technology is going to add complications and expense to future litigation. It may become standard practice for litigators to hire video experts any time that video evidence is involved to ensure that it is not a realistic deepfake.”
