## AI videos of Robin Williams spreading online
Nearly a decade after his death, AI-generated videos of comedian Robin Williams are circulating on social media, with some falsely claiming to show him discussing conspiracy theories.
## Zelda Williams calls out the fake videos
His daughter Zelda Williams tweeted that a supposed private video of her father discussing conspiracies is clearly AI, with a robotic voice that doesn't sound like him at all.

> Anyone who claims to be a fan who believes it clearly listened to his movies on mute because that voice is robotic and terrible.
## The deepfake racked up thousands of shares
A pixelated 13-second AI video falsely labeled as a 2013 private Robin Williams recording was shared thousands of times and received over 11,000 likes on X.
## Zelda blames the creators and the platform
Zelda Williams called out the people making and spreading the AI content, saying they're manipulating the public through media. She also criticized X for being a cesspool of bots and disinformation.

> Just because he's gone does not mean he's now your puppet. Have some shame.
## This is a pattern for Zelda Williams
In 2023, Zelda found AI voice models mimicking her father personally disturbing. Two years later, she pleaded with people to stop sending her AI videos of her dad.

> Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't.
## Key takeaway

AI deepfakes of deceased people can spread rapidly on social platforms, causing real harm to their families, and platforms like X have few safeguards to stop them.
