How an AI copy differs from a deepfake
Technically, both a copy and a deepfake use AI. But in essence they are opposites - and the difference lies in ethics.
Purpose
A deepfake is usually made to deceive. An AI memory copy is made to gently preserve and to help those who are close, honestly labeling itself as a simulation.
Consent
Deepfakes are often made without the person's knowledge. A copy in Pomni is impossible without consent and rights - this is built into the product.
Transparency
A deepfake disguises itself as reality. A copy, on the contrary, is always labeled and never passes itself off as living. This is a fundamental difference.
Control
A deepfake lives beyond the power of the person depicted and their loved ones. A memory copy can be stopped or deleted by the family at any time. Power over the likeness stays with those to whom it is dear.
- Purpose: to preserve and help, not to deceive.
- Only with consent and rights.
- Always labeled, never disguised.
- Under the family's control.
