The creator behind those videos has turned it into a profession by launching a company called Metaphysic to make hyperrealistic videos with AI. Chris Umé, a visual and AI effects artist based out of Bangkok, created <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/politics/world/news/liars-dividend-the-more-we-learn-about-deepfakes-the-more-dangerous-they-become/articleshow/82052627.cms">deepfake videos</a> of Tom Cruise with the help of an actor and impersonator, Miles Fisher. The videos show Cruise doing things like playing golf, showing off a magic trick and even biting on a lollipop. These videos quickly garnered millions of views with multiple reuploads on different social media apps as well. The problem with deepfakes The idea behind deepfake videos is to make fake videos look realistic with the help of AI but this technology has mostly received negative criticism due to the dangerous possibilities it offers. There have been cases of deepfake technology used mostly in pornography to create non-consensual adult videos. There’s also the worry that deepfake could be used to manipulate elections by making fake videos of politicians. Deepfake videos still have a long way to go as most of the popular ones can be easily recognised as fake but the technology is evolving and it will only get better. Ethical use of deepfake videos Metaphysic however claims to be different by saying that this technology can actually be used for fun, and to highlight the possibilities of visual effects. Chris Ume joined hands with his brother Kevin Umé and London-based tech entrepreneur Tom Graham to launch Metaphysic. “Our mission is to expand the frontiers of human expression through the ethical application of AI and build a future where everyone can create deeply relevant and delightful content for the communities they care about,” reads the about section of Metaphysic. According to a <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/06/tech/tom-cruise-deepfake-tiktok-company/">report</a> by CNN, the Metaphysic founders want to create deepfake videos that can “do everything from making older entertainers appear younger to creating video doubles of famous people that can be used to make commercials.” It’s also not about just making deepfake videos but actually making them look as realistic as possible. <div type="javascript" title="Custom" contenttype="Video"><cdata><![CDATA[]]></cdata></div> Some examples of the kind of work Metaphysic does include a Gillette razor campaign featuring the American athlete Deion Sanders but in a young 1989 look. The company also brought back two deceased Belgium Football team managers back to life in a campaign for the Belgian Football Association. Metaphysic is also taking an ethical approach for their work by making sure that they get official permission for the subjects they use. In case of the Tom Cruise deepfakes, they were created for fun and Umé did reach out to the Hollywood actor’s management team but did not get a response. He also said that he’s ready to take the videos down and even hand over the TikTok account if Cruise doesn’t approve of it.

Cairn Energy plc CEO Simon Thomson told reporters that the meeting with the finance secretary was constructive. He <a href="https://twitter.com/BloombergQuint/status/1362312435433041921?s=20">further declined</a> to make any other comments. Earlier last week, Thomson had sought a meeting with finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman during his visit to India. FM <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/cairn-ceo-to-meet-finance-secy-today/articleshow/81078762.cms">reportedly</a> authorised the finance secretary Ajay Bhushan Pandey to meet him and hear out the company. A Cairn Energy Plc spokesperson also declined to comment when Business Insider India requested a response on Thomson and Pandey’s meeting. The report said that both the Indian government and Cairn would be sitting with an open mind to see a possible solution outside the legal options. It added that, meanwhile, the Finance Ministry has already referred the matter to the law ministry and Attorney General of India seeking their opinion on the future course of action of India. <div type="twitter" handle="CairnEnergy" handlename="Cairn Energy PLC" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/877452474755551232/DkFc4TFl_normal.jpg" favoritecount="15" retweetcount="6" status="Cairn Energy CEO Simon Thomson is looking forward to meeting the Government of India Finance Minister in Delhi next… https://t.co/byreMRhkVJ" createdat="1612872283000" id="1359110980249214977"></div> What has happened so far? In December, an international tribunal had unanimously ordered the government to desist from seeking up to $1.4 billion from Cairn Energy PLC of the U.K. The court said that India violated its obligations under the UK-India Bilateral Investment Treaty in 2014. The government seized Cairn's residual 10% stake in India business after seeking $1.4 billion in taxes in alleged capital gains from the company over a 2006-07 internal reorganisation of the business. According to the Indian government, the current pending tax demand against the company — including tax, interest for non-payment and penalty — is around $3 billion. In the letter to the finance ministry last month, Cairn had said its shareholders "expect an early resolution, failing which they will expect Cairn to pursue the award in conformity with its rights under the treaty". "The award can be enforced against Indian assets in numerous jurisdictions around the world for which the necessary preparations have been put in place," it added. Cairn Energy had sold Cairn India, in 2011, to mining billionaire Anil Agarwal's Vedanta Group, except for a minor stake of 9.8%. It wanted to sell the residual stake as well but was barred by the I-T department from doing so. The government also froze the payment of dividends by Cairn India to Cairn Energy.
