An Italian bank has issued a warning about the alarming rise of fake news, which is being spread using highly sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) technology. These fake news articles are cleverly designed to manipulate financial markets and other institutions. The Central Bank of Italy refers to this manipulation technique as “deepfakes.” Not only is this deceptive information being spread through the written word, but it is also being done through artistic creation, where visual or audio content is modified to enhance the credibility of these false articles. The bank strongly advises individuals to exercise caution and refrain from further disseminating such harmful news.
