FORMER energy minister Kevin Ramnarine has condemned the creation and distribution of three digitally manipulated videos using his image and voice posted to Facebook promoting a “government investment platform," which he said were generated using deepfake AI technology.

In a statement on November 11, he said he had also seen a doctored newspaper article using his image and name to promote this platform.

“I have made a formal report of this matter to the Police Service and I have also reported it to Facebook. I have also posted multiple disclaimers on my Facebook and Linkedin accounts. In some cases, these manipulated videos have been removed by Facebook.
