How Disney's Latest Face-Swap Tech Might Accidentally Doom Humanity

Face swapping technology where you can change one face for another in a photo is already creepy, but the company that might have perfected it is one you may not expect: Disney.

Their research studios released a paper illustrating how much better the technology is getting. Clearly, the brand aims to use it for something related to entertainment. The article suggests the tech “could bypass visual effects entirely, and enable the megacorp to cast anyone, living or dead, in its movies.”

It could also offer a blueprint for any more evil organization to use the same tech to create fabricated videos to bypass security or impact elections. The point is, this is tech with dangerous potential. Even if it happens to be developed by the same people who created the happiest place on Earth.
