Days after a deepfake video of him promoting political views went viral on social media, Ranveer Singh has taken decisive action by lodging a complaint with Mumbai police against those responsible for its creation.
Amid the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, the actor fell prey to deepfake menace after his video surfaced online in which he was purportedly heard voicing his political views.
However, it turned out that the video was made using an artificial intelligence (AI) voice clone of the actor. The video, from the actor’s recent visit to Varanasi, appears genuine but uses an AI-synthesized voice clone of Ranveer.
Ranveer filed a complaint with Mumbai Police’s Cyber Crime Cell, confirmed an official on Monday. After the AI-generated video went viral on social media platforms, Ranveer took to his Instagram Story on Friday and dropped a post in which he wrote, “Deepfake se bacho doston (Friends, beware of deepfakes).” (ANI)
