Tom Hanks Warns Fans About 'Wonder Drug' Online Ads That Use His Likeness 'Through AI': 'Do Not Be Fooled. Do Not Be Swindled.'

Tom Hanks has issued a strong warning to his fans regarding online advertisements that misuse his likeness and voice through AI technology. These ads promote miracle cures and wonder drugs without his consent, misleading viewers into believing he endorses them. Hanks emphasized that he only consults with his certified doctor for his type 2 diabetes treatment and urged fans not to fall for these scams.

This isn't the first time Hanks has addressed the issue of AI-generated content misrepresenting him. Previously, he warned about a deepfake video promoting a dental plan that also exploited his image. The rise of unauthorized deepfakes highlights the urgent need for regulations to combat misinformation and protect public figures from reputational harm.
