PETALING JAYA: Popular content creator Khairul Amin Kamarulzaman, better known as Khairul Aming, has urged social media users to be cautious of an AI-generated deepfake video mimicking his voice and likeness to trick users into making a purchase.

"The voice that you hear in the video – that is not my voice. That is an AI-generated video that a scammer has used to sell products," he said in a video posted on his social media platforms.
