Bangladesh’s Ministry of Finance has issued an urgent warning after a fake video featuring interim government finance adviser Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed circulated on social media. The ministry stated that the video, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to mimic the adviser’s voice and image, is entirely false and misleading. It accused certain interest groups of spreading the content on Facebook for promotional purposes. The ministry clarified that neither Dr. Ahmed nor the ministry has any connection with the statements made in the video. It further noted that the AI-generated manipulation aimed to create confusion among the public and harm the adviser’s reputation. Legal measures are being taken to remove the video and identify those responsible. Citizens have been urged to verify information before engaging in any financial transactions and to remain alert against deceptive online content.
