Mia Goth Calls Out Instagram for Allowing AI Images of Her Amid Shia LaBeouf Divorce News
"It is incomprehensible that Instagram evidently prioritizes the dissemination of forged and manipulated images over the protection and integrity of a public figure’s likeness," the actress' team shares The post Mia Goth Calls Out Instagram for Allowing AI Images of Her Amid Shia LaBeouf Divorce News appeared first on TheWrap .
Mia Goth, who is not active on Instagram, had to report a complaint to the platform after an AI-generated image of her went viral amid her divorce from Shia LaBeouf. Last week, Goth filed for irreconcilable differences. An Instagram account, @miagoth_, posted a picture of the actress wearing a shirt that read: "My Ex Is My Biggest Fan."
The AI image, despite being fabricated, was cited by several news outlets as Goth making a statement about LaBeouf. The account was verified by Instagram with a blue checkmark. "Mia Goth does not have ownership of, nor does she engage in social media on any platform. We have filed multiple complaints with Instagram to remove the verified fan account which continues to post counterfeit, AI images of Mia Goth," said a Goth spokesperson to The Verge.
The verification of this account by Instagram is troubling, as it prioritizes the spread of manipulated images over the protection of a public figure's likeness. This is not the first time such a situation has occurred. In 2024, Scarlett Johansson was shocked that Sam Altman of ChatGPT created an AI voice resembling Johansson, despite Johansson declining to voice the system herself.
Johansson had voiced the AI Samantha in "Her" in 2013. Altman later offered her to lend her voice to ChatGPT, but OpenAI denied using Johansson's voice, stating it belonged to another actress.
