Sudha Murty Warns of Deepfake Investment Scams

Infosys Foundation chairperson Sudha Murty has alerted the public to a rising threat of fake AI-generated videos falsely implicating her in financial investment schemes. These deepfakes, created without her permission, use advanced technology to mimic her voice and likeness.

The fraudulent videos are primarily circulating on social media platforms like Facebook. They feature Murty seemingly endorsing schemes that promise exceptionally high returns, luring unsuspecting individuals into investing. Many acquaintances of Murty have reportedly lost money due to these deceptive promotions.

Murty stresses that she never discusses financial schemes and urges people to be vigilant. She advises everyone to verify any investment advice solely through trusted banks or official sources to prevent falling victim to these scams and protect their sensitive data from being compromised on fake websites.
