Anup Soni has sounded the alarm publicly about a fraudulent deep fake video making rounds online, read the full story below
Actor Anup Soni took to public platforms on Sunday to sound the alarm about a fraudulent deepfake video circulating online. This deceptive video falsely promotes IPL betting by manipulating clips from the popular show ‘Crime Patrol’, in which Soni serves as the host. The perpetrators of the video have employed artificial intelligence (AI) technology to manipulate Soni’s voice, urging viewers to participate in betting through a Telegram group.
In the manipulated footage, Soni’s voice, created by AI, can be heard endorsing betting activities, citing fictitious individuals and their alleged successes in cricket predictions. Despite the obvious fabrication, the video cleverly integrates authentic clips from ‘Crime Patrol’, enhancing its credibility and potential to deceive unsuspecting viewers.
Anup Soni promptly condemned the deepfake video, emphasizing its fraudulent nature and the alarming ease with which such manipulations can be achieved in today’s digital landscape. His statement serves as a crucial reminder for vigilance against the proliferation of manipulated content online.
