The Rolling Stones debuted a de-aged deepfake music video for their lead single "In The Stars," from the album Foreign Tongues due July 10. Directed by Francois Rousselet and featuring actress Odessa A'zion, the clip digitally reconstructs the band’s 1970s faces to make Mick Jagger and Keith Richards appear decades younger. The video uses de-aging deepfake AI to transplant younger likenesses into new performances, blending archival aesthetics with contemporary footage. This high-profile use of AI matters because it shows how technology can erase visible aging for promotional content, complicating consent, authenticity, and how audiences remember cultural icons.
