August 11, 2025

In the UK, deepfake videos reportedly impersonated health experts on TikTok and other platforms to promote supplements linked to Wellness Nest. These videos allegedly manipulated real footage, cloned voices, and misrepresented medical facts about menopause, potentially exposing viewers seeking health advice to harmful misinformation and deceptive marketing practices. The use of deepfakes underscores the need for trustworthy AI governance, a critical aspect of Project Cerebellum's mission for safe and secure AI practices.
