The Media Center of the Dar al-Iftaa in Egypt has issued a warning about a "fake AI-generated video" attributed to the Grand Mufti of Egypt, Shawqi Allam, who also heads the General Secretariat of Islamic Fatwas in the world. The statement published by the Dar al-Iftaa on its official Facebook page on Friday evening clarified that the fake video is a promotional advertisement for an electronic gaming application.
The Media Center emphasized the "danger of using modern technology and artificial intelligence to distort awareness and exploit the trust of people in religious authorities and public figures, by fabricating videos that promote dubious products or applications with the intent to defraud."
The Media Center of the Dar al-Iftaa confirmed that all legal measures will be taken against anyone involved in the production or dissemination of this fake video. The statement urged Egyptians to be cautious of such "misleading pages and videos."
