KINGSTON, Jamaica—Minister of state in the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce Delano Seiveright, is warning the public about a fraudulent video currently circulating on social media which unlawfully uses his image and a manipulated voice generated through artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

“The video is entirely false and unauthorised,” said Seiveright, as he declared that he 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.

“I urge Jamaicans at home and in the diaspora to exercise extreme caution and not be misled by online content falsely suggesting my endorsement of any venture or investment opportunity,” Seiveright added.
