Lord Cameron received a hoax video call and messages from someone claiming to be Ukraine's former president. To fend off any potential attempts to manipulate footage of the foreign secretary from the exchange, the government has revealed what happened. A 'number of text messages were exchanged followed by a brief video call' between Lord Cameron and someone who claimed to be Petro Poroshenko, the Foreign Office said.
'Whilst regretting his mistake, the Foreign Secretary thinks it important to call out this behaviour and increase efforts to counter the use of misinformation,' it added. As artificial intelligence improves, there have been repeated warnings in recent months about the growing threat of misinformation and fake news. Broadcasters warned they will not be able to warn viewers about deepfakes and misinformation on election day.
