Media expert warns of fake advertising of drugs

YEREVAN, 29 October. /ARKA/. Media expert Samvel Martirosyan warned about the spread of fake advertisements of medicines created by artificial intelligence on Facebook and Instagram.

'The faces and voice of well-known doctors and journalists are being used. These are some pointless cheap medicines that are sold to people at a very high price. Be very careful. If you see someone's face, even if he is talking, it means nothing,' Martirosyan said, publishing a related video on Instagram.

Moreover, as the expert explained, the fake videos are circulating only in Russian so far, as the artificial intelligence is not yet able to cope with the Armenian language. -0-
