On Sunday (April 6, 23:05, The First), tune into "ttt - title, theses, temperaments" as we delve deep into this troubling phenomenon. We'll question this transformation's impact on our world and the damage that deepfakes have already wreaked. The show will be available in the ARD Mediathek from 20:00 on the broadcast day.

Moderator Siham El-Maimouni will shine the spotlight on this subject with AI expert Nina Schick, known for her concern over deepfakes, media lawyer Christian Schertz, artist and "Känguru" author Marc-Uwe Kling, and actor Michael "Bully" Herbig, who launched a plea in March titled "Ban deepfakes of real people!"
This petition, with over 300,000 signatories, including luminaries like Friedrich Merz, Markus Söder, or Lars Klingbeil, sounds the alarm about a tide of fakes approaching, making it increasingly difficult to sort fact from fiction.
Deepfakes can do more than just tarnish reputations; they can cause social unrest, give rise to misinformation, and pose legal challenges. Celebrities like Scarlett Johansson, victims of AI impersonation, add their voices to the call to halt this alarming trend.
Yet, we're not alone in this battle. As more individuals face the threat of their likeness being exploited for deepfakes and fraud, the Hollywood elite has raised the alarm. Scarlett Johansson has been a vocal advocate for recognizing deepfakes as a threat, having been a target herself.
