A deepfake video circulating online utilizes the image of the President of Colombia in an attempt to defraud citizens. The source of the video is identified as artificially created using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and manipulating original footage from Noticias Caracol. Neither De la Espriella nor Hurtado made any such announcement, confirming the fabrication. The original recordings and broadcast of Noticias Caracol were altered to create the deceptive content. This incident highlights the growing threat of AI-powered disinformation campaigns. The video is currently being recirculated, raising concerns about its potential impact on public trust and potential for widespread scamming. La Silla Vacía first reported on the circulating false content.
