Incident 12611 Report
Alleged AI-Generated Deepfake of Western Australia Premier Roger Cook Used in YouTube Investment Scam
2025-11-08
Western Australia's Consumer Protection commissioner warned of a scam using a purported AI-generated deepfake of Premier Roger Cook to promote a fraudulent investment scheme in a YouTube pop-up ad. The manipulated video reportedly uses less than 10 seconds of real footage and voice and falsely depicts Cook endorsing "low investment, high return" opportunities. Cook called the scam "very scary," while regulators urged platforms to act on AI-driven frauds.
