MADRID (AP) \u2014 Rafael Nadal is warning about fake online videos of him offering financial advice, and the risks of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n
The retired tennis great said on Tuesday he has never endorsed any of the online videos or their messages.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to share this message of caution \u2014 something unusual for my social media, but necessary,\u201d he wrote on Linkedin. \u201cIn recent days, together 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 with investment advice or proposals that in no case come from me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nadal said it was \u201cmisleading advertising, completely unrelated\u201d to him.<\/p>\n
He talked about society\u2019s challenge of learning to distinguish between what is real and what is manipulated, and of \u201cpromoting an ethical and responsible use of technology.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cInnovation is always positive when it serves people, but we must remain aware of its risks and act with critical thinking,\u201d he said. \u201cArtificial intelligence is a tool with enormous potential, capable of bringing extraordinary progress in education, medicine, sports, and communication. However, it can also be misused, creating false content that generates confusion and may deceive many people.\u201d<\/p>\n
