Hyderabad:Recently, the scammer is said to have used the AI-generated video of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to create advertisements that attract potential investors due to his fraudulent investment scheme. Results: The 70-year-old doctor lost Rs 200,000.
Welcome to the new world of artificial intelligence. There, reality and virtual merge seamlessly to create reality that is difficult to distinguish between the public, especially those who belong to the Old World.
Previously, clues such as lack of flashing or poor lip sync no longer apply. AI-generated videos are too perfect to see the difference when they are fake or original.
Experts and police officers said that if they want to avoid fraud, users must be cautious and rely on a genuine, verified website.
Talk to the Deccan Chronicle. Sandeep, a trainer and investigator at Cybercrime, founder and CEO of Sytech Labs, said: “Artificially generated faces are already on the Internet or have been newly created. They are misused by scammers. Animators and graphic designers.”
Sandeep added that the video is programming-based and designed by experts. He said, “Creators are usually animators. They already have design and graphics knowledge and apply programming!”
Russians, Israelis and Americans have already gained the mastery of using AI platforms and creating videos generated for AI. Meanwhile, the Indians are chasing out Sandeep and catching up. “The technology is just misused. The chances of distinguishing between the original and the fake in the near future are almost far apart.”
A year ago, a deep fake video of actress Rashmika Mandanna was also widely circulated, and a Btech alumni was arrested by Delhi police.
According to Commissioner D. Kavitha, DCP, Cyber Crime, Hyderabad, “Videos of famous people such as pastors, billionaires, top officials have also been circulated. We should consider the possibility that we can avoid prey to such cybercrime. Ministers can release such videos and take useful actions.
Nagalaxmi, DCP, Cyber Crime and Rachakonda Competitionerate said they should only visit validated applications, platforms or links. You should avoid being a victim of such cybercrime by avoiding fake websites and downloading suspicious items. “A minute of thought before acting will be useful,” said Pakeezha, Management SI.

How to find AI fakes
1. Visual and audio cues
Contradictions between face and body

Adjust the false facial expressions with emotions and voices
Skin texture or lighting inconsistencies
Strange head movements and troublesome body movements
Your hands and fingers may look distorted or unnatural
Lip sync problem
Mouth movements may not match the sound exactly
Artifacts and Glitches
Blurred, pixelated, or strange edges, especially around the face
Flickering in backgrounds and inconsistent lighting
Audio Quality
The AI's voice may sound slightly robotic or it may be too perfect.
Ambient sounds may not match the settings (for example, there is no echo in large rooms).
2. Use AI detection tools
Below are some tools that can be useful for detecting deepfakes and AI-generated videos.
Deepware Scanner: Scan for deep fake content
Hive Moderation: Detects the media that has been manipulated
Reality Defender: Real-time Media Verification
Microsoft Video Authenticator: Analyze videos for indications of operations
Invid (browser plugin): To check the video source
