Holliday Grainger is back with the third season of her famous show The Capture. The show explores the dangers of AI-driven, deepfake technology. During an exclusive interview with Filmfare, when the discussion went to actors facing troubles due to AI technology and recent surge in deepfake trend, Holliday shared her take on the challenges.
She said, “For actors, it is something that we have been using for quite a while – in terms of, motion capture. There has been a lot of confusion but I have never seen it done. As in, I have never actually seen myself AI-d. In season 2, I was AI-d a bit. They actually did deep fake me. When Carey was deep fake, it wasn’t me playing.”
She added, “But my example is something that is solely just about actors. Truth be told, it is quite a scary thing for women in general out there. And that it’s so easy now for anyone, at the touch of a button, to deep fake anyone else. We are in the world of growing social media. All our images are out there. There are only very few people that you couldn’t attempt to deep fake.”
In The Capture, Holliday plays the role of DI Rachel Carey. She is the lead protagonist who uncovers and fights against a shadowy, government-sanctioned surveillance system. The series revolves around Correction. It is an AI-powered video-manipulation program that can alter video footage in real-time. This is used to eventually create false narratives and complicate things.
The show is set largely in London. It highlights a world filled with CCTV cameras and facial recognition and focuses on the negative side of technology.
