The AI-generated video, mimicking Sachin Tendulkar’s voice, disseminates false claims,”My daughter has been using this application and withdrawing Rs 1.8 lakh every day. Downloading the app ‘Skyward Aviator Quest’ is easy for any iPhone user from the App Store.”
While the video’s voice mimics Tendulkar’s, discernible signs make it easy to spot the fake.
Accompanied by a potent message, the cricket icon shared the video, emphasizing the importance of user vigilance against deceptive content. Sachin Tendulkar stated, “These videos are fake. It is disturbing to see rampant misuse of technology. Request everyone to report videos, ads & apps like these in large numbers.”

In light of these developments, there is a growing consensus among public figures urging caution among the general public, emphasizing the need for awareness and vigilance to combat the potential consequences of AI-driven deceit in various forms.
