Sachin Tendulkar and Rashmika Mandana: After the development of AI i.e. Artificial Technology, many new facilities have opened up for the people all over the world, but along with it the danger of some dangerous things has also increased a lot. People can benefit as well as suffer from AI technology. The disadvantage of AI is deepfake technology, of which actress Rashmika Mandanna, who had previously done films like Pushpa and Animal, and India’s great former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar have also become victims.
Sachin’s deepfake video
When Sachin Tendulkar saw his deepfake video, he himself was surprised and he shared that video and posted it from his official X (old name Twitter) account, in which he told that it is a fake video. This video is not theirs. Through his post, Sachin expressed concern over the dangerous consequences of this big threat of technology, and told people that this video was made only to deceive them.
Actually, someone has promoted the Skyward Aviator Quest app by making a deepfake video of Sachin. It is being shown in the video that this gaming app is available on Apple’s App Store and Sachin is promoting it. In this fake video of Sachin, Sachin is saying, “My daughter is currently playing this game which everyone is talking about – Aviator. She withdraws 180 thousand rupees every day by playing Skyward Aviator Quest app. “I sometimes wonder how easy it has become to earn good money now. And the most interesting thing is that this application is absolutely free. Any iPhone owner can download it.”
What did Sachin say?
After watching and listening to this video, Sachin shared it on his X account and wrote, “This video is fake and has been made to deceive you. This type of misuse of technology is absolutely wrong. I request you all If you see such videos or apps or advertisements, then report them immediately. Social media platforms should also be cautious and take action as soon as possible on complaints made against them. Their role is very important in this regard so that wrong Information and news can be stopped and the misuse of deepfakes can be ended.”
