A deepfake video of Nvidia's CEO sent thousands of viewers to a crypto scam Reportedly, the fake video had almost 100,000 live YouTube viewers at one point--far more than the real keynote stream hosted by Nvidia. Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference isn't making many waves for gamer or PC hardware crowds this year, perhaps because it seems to be exclusively interested in boosting hardware for "AI" and data centers. So it's almost ironic that a phony version of the keynote livestream reportedly relied on generative "AI" to fake CEO Jensen Huang and send viewers to a cryptocurrency scam. A YouTube channel calling itself "NVIDIA LIVE" started a livestream shortly after the real Nvidia event began, which users on Twitter reported was a deepfake video of the CEO promoting a "crypto mass adoption event."
