@hinewsnow: Congressional candidate Nathan Berning is apologizing after using AI to create a false endorsement from late Native Hawaiian activist Haunani-Kay Trask, who died in 2021.Her family says the use of her image and voice may violate a new Hawaiʻi law governing AI-altered content.

Quietinthechaos :

How he running in Hawai’i and doesn’t know who Dr. Haunani Kay Trask is?

al3x!$ :

aloharay24 :

Pahoa80 :

isaidnobeef :

His reasoning is he was trying to depict a native Hawaiian woman.. to feign support he clearly doesn’t have? Idk which is worse.

locsandoptimism :

That’s so creepy, we don’t even have ownership of our own likeness anymore

Wtf no research so it was OK to run it for ads😏

Diego :

The fact that they would do this to Trask, of all people is so disgusting and honestly I can’t comprehend the amount of malice required to do this. Not even death can free women and indigenous people from colonial abuse 😭

Laurabluebyrd :

this is fucked up

Tai.808❌G7 :

What the F…… they should sue.

hautebutterbuns :

He should face legal consequences, including no longer being allowed to seek & occupy any public office. No political candidate should be allowed to use AI on social media or elsewhere.

Teleighleigh :
