Robyn Lawley has exposed the use of artificial intelligence in the modelling industry.
The Australian model, 33, took to Instagram on Wednesday with a series of images she claimed were AI-generated likenesses of her.
The post was a accompanied by a very long caption going into her fears about AI’s image-generating abilities.
‘My worries have now been amplified. We’re no longer just dealing with the small changes of a model’s body, but the complete fabrication of a nonhuman,’ she wrote.
‘Artificially made models, can look just as real as a human. The AI model can have a distinctive voice, look, and even own social media pages. And some are already earning the same and more, doing so.’

Lawley went on to warn that the industry has gone beyond small photoshop changes such as airbrushing and body shape modifications.
‘Some companies like Levi’s claim they use AI models to help supplement “human models” and increase the “number and diversity of our models.”‘
‘Instead of hiring diverse available fashion models?’ she asked rhetorically.

The model then went on to encourage her 295,000 followers to sign her petition, ‘because this will affect everyone, from the models, makeup artists to the photographers, and stylists etc.’
Robyn was catapulted into the spotlight in 2006 after appearing in teen magazine, Dolly.
Signed to a modelling agency at 18, she decided to switch to ‘plus size’ modelling, which increased her workload and appeal.
In 2011, the beauty went on to become the first ever ‘plus-size’ model in Vogue Australia’s 52-year-history, to feature in the magazine’s editorial fashion spread.
Robyn then forged an international modelling career, featuring on the cover of Vogue Italia, Elle France and GQ Australia.
