New Delhi, April 10
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has cautioned investors against deepfake videos of its CEO Ashish Kumar Chauhan giving stock recommendations. It said it was making efforts requesting these platforms to take down such videos, wherever possible.
The NSE said it has seen the use of the face or voice of Chauhan and the NSE logo in a few investment and advisory audio and video clips. These were falsely created using sophisticated technologies to imitate the voice and facial expressions of Chauhan, it said in a statement.
“Investors are hereby cautioned not to believe in such audio and videos and not follow any such investment or other advice coming from such fake videos or other mediums,’’ said the NSE statement. Service conditions prohibit NSE’s employees from recommending any stock.
The NSE said as all its communication is made only through its official website and verified social media handles, investors should verify the source of communication and content.
