A deepfake video of India TV Editor-in-Chief Rajat Sharma is going viral.
These days, while Artificial Intelligence (AI) has started helping humans in many things, its shortcomings have also come to light. With the help of AI, it has become very easy to create deepfake videos, which many people are taking advantage of. Not only the general public but even celebrities and big politicians have not been able to escape from deepfakes. Cases of deepfake videos of many celebrities being shared have come to light across the world. Deepfake is such content in which by manipulating the photo or video through AI, someone else’s face is superimposed on one’s face.
Rajat Sharma’s fake voice created by AI
Now a fake video of India TV Chairman and Editor-in-Chief Rajat Sharma is also going viral. People are selling fake medicines by using his video and voice. Rajat Sharma has warned regarding this video. He has also lodged a complaint with the cyber cell.
Rajat Sharma made a post on social media saying that he is becoming a victim of deepfake. He posted on X and wrote, “Nowadays, people selling fake medicines post many fake videos of me. These are deepfakes, fake. These people use my videos and use AI to make them sound like me. But that voice is not mine. I do not sell any medicines. Does not promote any diabetes medicine, any weight loss medicine, any knee pain medicine. All these videos are false. Don’t trust them.

He further wrote, “I have complained to the cyber crime cell and have also given a complaint to the police.
