A man has been sentenced to life in prison for plotting to kidnap, rape and murder Holly Willoughby, one of Britain’s most high-profile television personalities.

KUALA LUMPUR: Victims of scams involving fake videos and images, or deepfakes, created using artificial intelligence technology are urged to come forward to lodge a report to facilitate further action, says Comm Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf The Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf said this is because only the victims themselves can verify if their faces and voices were used without their knowledge in fraudulent activities.

"For instance, when it involves political leaders, only that individual can verify or deny their involvement,” he said when contacted by Bernama, adding that the police have not received any reports about such cases so far. According to him, creating videos using the images and voices of influential individuals can result in commercial crimes.

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil on Monday urged the public to be wary of AI-generated deepfakes after popular songstress Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza fell victim to the tactics.
