A well-known
BBC wildlife presenter has been caught up in a scam that saw a fake
AI-generated program mimic her voice and give permission for her face to be used in an advert.
Liz Bonnin and her management team noticed last week that the presenter of
Our Changing Planet and
Arctic From Above was fronting a poster for insect repellent spray, which neither her nor management had signed off.
On closer investigation, the voice messages supposedly from Bonnin that had confirmed she was happy to appear in the advert were revealed to be AI-generated.
