In an age where artificial intelligence can replicate anyone's face, who really owns your image? This urgent panel brings together leading ethicists and cultural critics to examine the legal and moral minefield of facial recognition and deep fakes. Judith Simon, an ethics professor and deputy chair of Germany's ethics council, Thomas Macho, a cultural historian who has written extensively on faces and identity, and journalist Rabea Weihser explore how tech companies train algorithms on billions of photos without consent, then license them to security firms. Anyone can now create AI avatars wearing your face—but the law hasn't caught up.
