Medvi, a startup, earned $400 million last year and is projected to earn $1.8 billion by 2026 with only two employees. The company uses AI-generated before-and-after images to promote weight-loss drugs, often altering real photos scraped from the internet. Medvi's ads are distributed through over 800 AI-generated social media accounts impersonating doctors. This raises significant ethical concerns, including unauthorized use of individuals' likenesses and misleading advertising that could harm patient health.
