The 24-year-old said that she revealed she has come across ‘far from reality’ deepfake images of herself. She wrote, ”Social media is a wonderful space for all of us to share our joys, sorrows, and daily activities. However, it is disconcerting to see the misuse of technology as it takes away from the truth and authenticity of the internet.”
The daughter of the cricket icon also talked about the problem of fake X accounts that mimicked her. She said, “It is evident that some accounts on X were made with the intention of impersonating me and misleading people. I hope X looks into such accounts and suspends them as I don’t have an account on X. Entertainment should never come at the expense of the truth. Let’s encourage communication that’s based on trust and reality.”
It is pertinent to mention here that Deepfake technology uses artificial intelligence to generate highly realistic-looking fake photos or videos, making it impossible to distinguish between modified and genuine data.
