Stanford R&DE Uses AI to Race Swap Students for Advertising

The Stanford Research and Development (R&DE) department has used AI to swap the faces of students in photos for an advertising campaign, sparking debate about the ethics of such technology. The AI was trained on a dataset of 15,000 images of Stanford students, allowing it to recognize and replace the faces in the photos with those of other students. The campaign aimed to promote the university's diversity and inclusivity, but some critics argue that it raises questions about student consent and the potential for misrepresentation.
