1 min read

NASSAU, Bahamas, Apr 23, CMC – The Bahamas government says a viedo circulating on social media and showing Prime Minister Philip Davis promoting an investment scheme is “fake and generated using artificial intelligence (AI) technology”.

In a brief statement, the Office of  the Prime Minister said that the video was not “produced, authorized, or endorsed by the Office of the Prime Minister or any government agency.

“We strongly caution the public against sharing or relying on digitally manipulated media designed to mislead or exploit.”

It said that the  matter has since been referred to the Royal Bahamas Police Force for further investigation.

“We urge all Bahamians to remain vigilant, verify sources of information, and report suspicious or misleading content to the proper authorities,” the statement added.
