Fake video uses AI-generated audio of the movie star to disparage the Olympic Committee

with a disinformation campaign that includes deploying a deepfake Tom Cruise to narrate a documentary criticising the organisation behind the games, according to a new

The fake Cruise video, which appeared on the Telegram messaging platform last year, is called Olympics Has Fallen and uses artificial intelligence-generated audio of the film star’s voice to present a “strange, meandering script” disparaging the IOC. The documentary, whose title riffs on the Gerard Butler, also claims falsely to have been produced by Netflix and is promoted with bogus five-star reviews from the New York Times and the BBC.

Social media accounts linked to Storm-1679 have shown images claiming to represent graffiti in Paris threatening violence to Israelis attending the games. Several of the images also referenced the attacks at the 1972 Munich Olympics by Palestinian terrorists in which 11 members of the Israeli Olympics team died.“Microsoft did not observe any independent confirmation that the graffiti physically exists, suggesting the images were likely digitally generated,” said the report.
