Government minister Delano Seiveright is distancing himself from a video circulating on social media platforms promoting an investment opportunity, describing it as false and generated using artificial intelligence (AI).

"The video is entirely false and unauthorised. Minister Seiveright has absolutely no connection to the video, the individuals responsible for its creation or distribution, or any investment opportunity, financial scheme, product, or service being promoted," a statement from the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce said on Friday.

Seiveright is the State Minister in the ministry.
