Rafael Nadal Warns About Fake AI Videos
The renowned tennis player Rafael Nadal has issued a warning about the proliferation of fake online videos that use artificial intelligence (AI) to imitate his image and voice, offering supposed financial advice. Through his LinkedIn account, Nadal stated that he has never endorsed or supported any of the videos circulating on various digital platforms.The Spanish tennis player described this situation as “misleading advertising, completely unrelated” to him. Nadal also addressed the challenge society faces in discerning between reality and manipulation, emphasizing the need to promote an “ethical and responsible use of technology”. The athlete highlighted the potential of AI for progress in areas such as education, medicine, sports, and communication, but also warned about the risks of its misuse and the creation of false content that could generate confusion and deception.“I want to share this message of caution, something unusual on my social media, but necessary. In recent days, along with my team, we have detected fake videos circulating on some platforms. These were generated with artificial intelligence, showing a figure that imitates my image and my voice. In those videos, I am falsely attributed advice or investment proposals that in no case come from me,” wrote Nadal.
