I'm surprised they have blatantly named it ObamaNet. Will it not make them vulnerable to defamation or impersonation or some other legal violation? Is this kind of use of a person's name, face and voice legally allowed in US?
- vtange 9y agoI think they named it exactly this to highlight the possibility of malicious use for defamation/impersonation attacks. Plus if it was really used to say impersonate Obama, it'd be rightly referred by name in the news as "Obamanet", which to a layperson would sound like a smoking gun. Lyrebird.ai similarly followed this approach as they realized their own technology could be used for nefarious purposes given the current political climate.
- taneq 9y agoI just assumed it was because they trained it on copious publicly available speeches by Obama?
