Virat Kohli Fake Video: AI i.e. Artificial Technology can cause as much harm as it can benefit humans, which is being discussed all over the world. With the help of AI technology, deepfake videos are being made, which are completely fake videos. After Rashmika Mandhana, who did films like Pushpa and Animal in India, and great former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, now Virat Kohli has also become a victim of deepfake videos.
Virat’s fake video goes viral
A fake video of Virat Kohli is going viral on social media, in which he is seen promoting a betting app. Cyber criminals have used AI based deepfake technology to create a video in which at first glance it appears that Virat Kohli is actually promoting that betting platform. To make this promotional video more credible, cyber criminals have made this video a part of a news show, which is running on a Hindi channel of the country.
At the beginning of the video, the anchor on the Hindi news channel starts talking about the betting platform, and then Virat Kohli’s video starts playing. This means that cyber criminals have created a promotional video by creating deepfake videos of both Virat Kohli and the news anchor, so that Virat Kohli’s fans can join that betting platform and then cheat the users.
How to identify fake videos?
Let us tell you that before Virat Kohli, a similar video of Sachin Tendulkar had also gone viral, in which Sachin was also seen promoting a money making platform, but then Sachin himself shared his deepfake video through his official Twitter account. By sharing it, it was informed that this is a fake video. Such fake videos may seem real to you at first glance, but if you watch them carefully again and again, you will understand that there is something wrong in that video. To identify a deepfake video, you will have to carefully observe the expressions of the person seen in the video again and again.
