Tom Hanks warned fans of false ads using his name, likeness and voice to promote “wonder drugs,” claiming the companies were using artifical intelligence to scam consumers.
Hanks shared the “public service announcement” on Thursday on Instagram.
“There are multiple ads over the internet falsely using my name, likeness and voice promoting miracle cures and wonder drugs,” Hanks wrote in the statement. “These ads have been created without my consent, fraudulently and through AI.”
Hanks previously warned fans about a dental company scam in October, telling his fans to “beware.”
“There’s a video out there promoting some dental plan with an AI version of me. I have nothing to do with it,” he wrote on Instagram at the time.
