The upcoming 'Putin' film, created using deepfake technology by Polish director Patryk Vega, is set to premiere in 35 countries this September. However, the film's storyline and intriguing scenes have sparked heated debates and discussions. Delve into the details below!
Many of you are familiar with what deepfake technology is.
It involves using artificial neural networks to replace the appearance of a person in an image or video with someone else's appearance. It's often used to create fake pornographic images of celebrities, fake speeches by political leaders, and fake financial news, deceiving the viewer.
Nowadays, many famous individuals and even ordinary citizens are negatively impacted by deepfake technology.
There are many victims worldwide whose faces are used in adult films without their consent. But in our next news, we see deepfake technology being used for a movie.
According to The Guardian, Polish director Patryk Vega has created the 'Putin' film using deepfake technology, depicting the life of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
The psychological horror film covers Putin's childhood, rise to power, relations with the United States, and the wars in Chechnya and Ukraine.
Putin is portrayed as a political leader and dictator using artificial intelligence in the film.
The AIO studio in Poland states that they worked on this English-language film for 3 years and announces that 'Putin' will premiere in 35 countries in September.
Director Vega stated,
'Our film sheds light on the actions of Putin, one of the most controversial figures in contemporary politics. We used deepfake technology because we couldn't bring Putin to the studio for 20 thousand scenes. Instead, we used artificial intelligence to create a cinematic character. The 'Putin' film will serve as a guide for those who want to understand him.'
However, Vega's biographical 'Putin' film created with artificial intelligence has sparked controversies in Poland.
The film's trailer shows the political leader engaging in martial arts, confronting Boris Yeltsin, and wearing a dirty diaper.
