Katy Perry and Rihanna didn't attend the Met Gala, but AI-generated images still fooled fans

Deepfake images of Katy Perry and Rihanna at the Met Gala circulated online, fooling some fans. The AI-generated images depicted the stars attending the prestigious fashion event, but discrepancies in the images gave them away. Despite this, Perry herself reposted the fake images on her Instagram, leading to further confusion. Rihanna, originally confirmed to attend the Met Gala, did not make an appearance due to illness. The incident highlights concerns around the misuse of AI technology, particularly in creating phony content, disinformation, scams, and identity theft. Experts emphasize the need for corporate accountability, industry standards, and government regulation to address these issues.
