The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) has warned the public about fake AI-generated videos and advertisements circulating on social media platforms, particularly Facebook, featuring content impersonating the CBSL Governor.

CBSL urged the public not to be misled by these fraudulent advertisements or act on any financial advice, investment opportunities or claims promoted through such videos. It also advised the public to remain vigilant, verify information through its official communication channels and refrain from sharing misleading or fraudulent content.

The warning comes amid growing concerns over the misuse of artificial intelligence to create misleading content and deceive the public.
