On May 7, the Press Information Bureau (PIB) of India clarified that a video circulating online, which features Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman allegedly endorsing an investment platform, is a fake created using artificial intelligence (AI). The PIB highlighted that the video falsely claims that an investment of ₹21,000 could generate returns of up to ₹30 lakh (approximately $36,000 USD). The PIB cautioned the public about such online investment scams and urged individuals to verify claims through official government sources before sharing personal or financial information. This incident is not isolated; it follows previous instances where AI-generated videos have misled the public, including a complaint filed by AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi regarding a deepfake video promoting an investment scam with unrealistic returns. The PIB encourages vigilance against misinformation and provides contact details for reporting fraudulent content, emphasizing the need for individuals to think critically before engaging with suspicious online material.
