The world’s biggest YouTuber MrBeast and two BBC presenters have been used in deepfake videos to scam unsuspecting people online. Deepfakes use artificial intelligence (AI) to make a video of someone by manipulating their face or body. One such video appeared on TikTok this week, claiming to be MrBeast offering people new iPhones for $2 (£1.65). Meanwhile, likenesses of BBC stars Matthew Amroliwala and Sally Bundock were used to promote a known scam.
