FKA Twigs has revealed that she has developed her own deepfake version of herself, specifically to interact with fans online.The British singer-songwriter – whose real name is Tahliah Barnett – revealed the news of the AI development in a recent written testimony, where she explained how artificial intelligence can be used when an artist gives their consent.Deepfakes are created using artificial intelligence to make a photo or video of someone by manipulating their face or body.According to a report by Rolling Stone, the online version of the artist will go by ‘AI Twigs’, and will be rolled out later this year to help her maintain a connection with fans online while she focuses on making new music.“In the past year, I have developed my own deepfake version of myself that is not only trained in my personality but also can use my exact tone of voice to speak many languages,” she wrote in the testimony.“I will be engaging my AI Twigs later this year to extend my reach and handle my online social media interactions, whilst I continue to focus on my art from the comfort and solace of my studio.“These and similar emerging technologies are highly valuable tools both artistically and commercially when under the control of the artist.”The singer is set to put forward the testimony to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property in Washington D.C. later today (April 30).

MPs suggest musicians and celebrities should be protected against AI deepfakes
AI deepfakes by law.The push from the government comes after artificial intelligence has been used increasingly more to impersonate the image and voices of those in the public eye without their consent or knowledge.It also comes in light of various British artists – including Jess Glynne, Mumford and Sons, Sam Smith, Robert Smith and Zayn Malik – signing an open letter last month, calling for the government to enforce wider protection against the technology.Now, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Music has called on the UK government to regulate the use of AI in music through law, and enforce “a specific personality right to protect creators and artists from misappropriation and false endorsement”.The push came via a report shared earlier today (May 1), and highlighted how a law should be issued to protect celebrities from the risk of AI becoming “a destroyer of creators’ livelihoods”.As highlighted by BBC News, the cross-party group’s chair, Labour MP Kevin Brennan said politicians must “confront the danger that unfettered developments in AI could pose to the UK’s musicians and music businesses” and warned that “AI can be a great servant but would be a terrible master.”The MPs also made reference to a new law passed in the US – the Elvis Act – which prohibits the use of AI to mimic an artist’s voice without their permission, and insisted that “the UK [should] not fall behind our international competitors”.At time of writing, the UK does have regulations in place to prevent people from misrepresenting others when offering goods or services, but the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Music argued how much protection it could offer in relation to AI technology and deepfakes.In response to the issues put forward, a

FKA Twigs on how abuse “changed her nervous system” after Shia LaBeouf allegations
FKA Twigs has opened up about how abuse has “changed her nervous system”, following her coming forward with allegations against ex-partner Shia LaBeouf.The singer was previously in a relationship with the actor, and after their split came forward with accusations of abuse – citing physical and verbal abuse, sexual battery and emotional distress.She first filed the lawsuit in 2020, and stated that LaBeouf was a danger to women and had slammed her into a car, tried to strangle her and knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted disease.His lawyers responded at the time by saying he did not cause her harm, and the actor has said he denied “each and every allegation” raised against him.Now, FKA Twigs has taken part in a new interview with British Vogue and recalled how experiencing abuse can have an impact on physical health, as well as emotional.Speaking about the split, she told the outlet that she expected her separation from LaBeouf to “be like any other break-up” and thought “I’d be sad for six months to a year, and then one day I’d wake up and everything would be fine” (via Metro).“But the fact is being abused changes the whole of your nervous system,” she added, also going on to explain that the relationship has made her “‘window of tolerance is now much smaller than it used to be”.“My body manifests stress in quite extreme ways – it really shows me when it’s upset,’ she explained, also saying that she has learned to be “very compassionate with myself”, and listen to her body to help her “get better”.Although LaBeouf has consistently denied the allegations raised against him by Twigs – real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett – in a past interview with The New York Times he did recall how his behaviour has resulted in him
