Deepfake AI detectors flag Central African Republic President's memecoin announcement video as suspicious


The Central African Republic President's announcement of a newly launched memecoin has been flagged as suspicious by two deepfake AI detectors. The memecoin reached a market capitalization of $530 million on Feb. 9 and was launched on the Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun. Some skeptics have questioned the legitimacy of the token, suggesting it may be the result of a sophisticated hack of Touadera's official account. The official X account dedicated to the memecoin @Carmeme_news has been suspended by X, but the president said he was "working with X" to get the page restored as soon as possible.
