Defne Samyeli becomes a victim of artificial intelligence: 'I have initiated legal proceedings'

A new method has been added to the types of fraud involving 'artificial intelligence,' which has been a subject of debate in recent weeks.

The victim of this particular fraud this time was actress and presenter Defne Samyeli.

An advertisement was produced using artificial intelligence by utilizing Samyeli's image and voice.

In the fake advertisement, Defne Samyeli was seen talking about a new investment vehicle and providing guidance to investors.

'QUESTION IT HUNDREDS OF TIMES'

Presenter and actress Defne Samyeli, who issued a warning regarding artificial intelligence—a subject that many actors have recently suffered from—cautioned, "In this day and age, I recommend that you question it hundreds of times when you see a video saying 'invest your money here'."

'I DID NOT DIRECT ANYONE TO ANY INVESTMENT'

While filing a criminal complaint regarding the fake advertisement, Defne Samyeli stated, ''Although it is understood at first glance that this video in question is a completely fabricated montage, I understand that it has caused many of our citizens to be defrauded.

On one hand, this is significant in terms of giving us an idea about the dangerous dimensions that the use of artificial intelligence can reach. I have not made any broadcast directing people to any investment.

I would like to announce on this occasion that I will initiate legal proceedings against those responsible for defrauding citizens by using my face and my broadcasts on my YouTube channel, and for spreading and publishing these videos."
