Doctor flags fake video claiming to treat diabetes in 48 hours
Advertisement
Senior diabetologist Dr. V Mohan has denounced a video circulating on social media, depicting a figure resembling him endorsing a diabetes cure within 48 hours, as "fake." This incident highlights the alarming potential of such AI-generated clips as emerging health hazards.
Originally posted on the Facebook pages of the Indian Medical Association of Tirunelveli, the video rapidly gained traction. However, Dr. Mohan, who does not speak Hindi, immediately recognized the manipulation. In November 2023, he reported the video to Tamil Nadu police's cyber security cell, resulting in its removal. Nevertheless, the video resurfaced.
