Now, Infosys Co Founder Narayana Murthy's Deepfake Video Goes Viral

Dispelling notions of miscreants targeting only film actresses, a shocking Deepfake video of Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murthy has come to light.

The morphed video shows Narayana Murthy speaking about 'Quantum AI.' Sharing the clip, a user on Facebook said, "N. R. Narayana Murthy is a revered figure in the Indian business landscape. His unwavering commitment to progress and high standards sets an example for many. He's a source of immense pride for every Indian. A deep bow of respect to the honorable Mr. Murthy (sic)."

In this video, the audio and subtitles depict Murthy allegedly discussing a collaborative project named 'Quantum AI' with Twitter CEO Elon Musk. Murthy claims that their respective teams have developed the world's inaugural quantum computing software, designed to generate profits through stock market activities.

However, the claims made by Murthy in the video are not true. This video has been digitally manipulated, with the audio segment referring to 'Quantum AI' being superimposed onto the footage.

The netizens, who want to know what exactly the Infosys co-founder said '"Moneycontrol Startup Conclave 2023 Live - Fueling Innovation In Times Of Transformation', can watch the original clip below:

In the actual video, Murthy takes the stage alongside his son, Rohan Murthy, the founder of the software development firm 'Soroco.' During this segment, he gives insights into his life lessons and business journey as the co-founder of Infosys.

Murthy delves into topics such as leadership, organizational structure, his role in guiding colleagues at Infosys, and the profound impact of a tour in France on his professional trajectory. Notably, the video does not contain any mention of AI (artificial intelligence) or the term 'Quantum AI.'

This video too has joined the growing list of fake videos created through Deepfake technology. In the recent past, celebrities such as Rashmika Mandanna, Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra and a few other Indian celebrities have become targets of such fabricated content, prompting heightened concerns.
