Minister of Culture and Information Aida Balayeva wrote on her Facebook page that scammers, using artificial intelligence, are generating messages supposedly on her behalf.
"Recently, there have been more frequent cases where unknown people, using artificial intelligence, send voice messages supposedly on my behalf to people I know and do not know," the minister reported.
Aida Balayeva asked people to ignore such messages and block unknown numbers.
It is worth recalling that in October last year, scammers used artificial intelligence to create a video featuring Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, in which the President supposedly calls for support for a new investment platform created by Elon Musk.
In early November of the same year, a fake video appeared on the social network Facebook, in which Dariga Nazarbayeva talks about a project that, it was claimed, would allow residents of Kazakhstan to earn 500,000 tenge in just two hours.
Later, a fake video spread online, in which President Tokayev and the head of Kaspi.kz Mikhail Lomtadze supposedly talk about a new project that would allow Kazakhstanis to earn from 2 million tenge.
In April of this year, it became known that scammers are sending messages to Kazakhstani people supposedly on behalf of government members, who are "asking" to borrow money until payday. Some citizens even received messages on behalf of Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov.
