Five individuals have been remanded in police custody by the Accra High Court following allegations of using advanced AI-generated deepfake content to impersonate prominent figures. The accused are suspected of defrauding victims of approximately GH₵500,000 through this sophisticated scheme.
Reports indicate that the individuals allegedly created and disseminated highly convincing deepfake materials, which were then used to deceive unsuspecting victims. The court's decision to remand them allows for further investigation into the extent of the alleged fraud and the methods employed.
