Malaria Must Die

The world’s first petition you could sign using your voice.
Launched by David Beckham and a then, truly groundbreaking AI film.
Deepfake used for good.
And absolutely no sympathy porn.

20,000 people said “malaria must die” into the Voice Petition in the first hour alone.

Then we used the voices to target world leaders when they were pledging money to end malaria. Resulting in a record pledge.

Becks speaking 9 different languages was covered across the globe.
The film was played in 37 African countries, via sports broadcaster Super Sport, for free.
The deepfake tech was shown in lectures by Microsoft, Linkedin and numerous big companies earning its place in AI folklore.
