Obama Says He is Worried About ‘Deepfake’ Videos That Show Him Cursing Trump

President Barack Obama is speaking out about the use of so-called "deepfake" technology to create videos that appear to show him cursing and saying things he would not say - at least not publicly.

For the past 2 years, AI videos of Obama using inappropriate language have been circulated on the Internet. But Obama has not spoken out about the technology until now.

The former U.S. president told his concerns to an audience in Ottawa, Canada on Friday.

"People can duplicate me speaking and saying anything. And it sounds like me and it looks like I'm saying it — and it's a complete fabrication," Obama said.

Deepfake videos are a growing concern, particularly ahead of the presidential elections in 2020.

As Saraki Goes Into Political Purgatory

First of all, all praise to Almighty God, who gives power to whom he wills. The political victory came to Saraki in the past so easily that he forgot who he was. He became haughty and prideful. To the proud, the arrogant and the haughty, no one except God is powerful by himself or herself. Power is given, bestowed or granted and it must be kept in trust with reverence or it will be retrieved. Saraki got invested in himself so much as to take his people for granted and hold them in disdain.

When I started attacking Saraki on this wall and in my column, many may not know I once sat with this man, at the same table at a wedding reception, in which I was “chairperson”. We exchanged banter and he was quite personable, likeable and young.

There is nothing wrong with ambition; there is everything wrong with vaulting ambition. Vaulting ambition blunders the ambitious into thinking everything is fair game, it reduces their humanity and exposes an ugly side that is very alienating.

I Trumped Melania! She's the First Lady's Double - But as ALICE SMELLIE Proves, You Can Get A Millionaire Look Without The Donald's Wallet

As this week's UK state visit proved, the First Lady always looks impeccably stylish. While I'd love to dress like her, with some of her outfits costing north of £50,000 a time, there's little chance of me picking up the same pieces. Perhaps this budget Melania could imitate her wardrobe for a knock-down price. After searching the High Street and online retailers for her state visit looks, I discovered it is possible to look positively presidential without breaking the bank

Ever since Donald Trump's political star ascended, I've started getting funny looks from friends and family.

Not, I hasten to say, because I've become a Trumpette but because they're convinced I bear more than a passing resemblance to his wife Melania.

8thsenatevaledictory: How Nigerians Reacted As Saraki-led Senate Ends Today

Mr Saraki emerged Senate President during his days in the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) against the wish of the party and was deputised by Ike Ekweremadu from the opposing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
