He revealed that his security team has been taking down deep-fake videos generated by artificial intelligence (AI) that feature him promoting Bitcoin scams.&nbsp;
Saylor revealed that his team pulls down roughly 80 fake AI-generated YouTube videos every day, but scammers continue to create more.&nbsp;
The MicroStrategy chairman took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his worry and warn the crypto community about fake podcasts urging users to scan a barcode and send Bitcoin to receive double the amount back.&nbsp;

These are typical Bitcoin scam tactics that aim to deceive and steal from unsuspecting victims.&nbsp;
In this light, Saylor warns BTC holders that there is no risk-free way to double their Bitcoin, and MicroStrategy does not give away BTC to those who scan a barcode.&nbsp;
He also urges them to always verify and not blindly trust.&nbsp;
Saylor is not the only renowned crypto personality to be targeted by AI scammers. In November 2023, deep-fake videos of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse promoting fake XRP giveaways emerged on social media.&nbsp;
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a sophisticated and quickly expanding technology that can generate realistic and convincing digital content such as photos, videos, audio and text.&nbsp;
While artificial intelligence has many positive and beneficial applications, it can also be used for malicious purposes.&nbsp;
The crypto community should be aware of the possible risks posed by AI and take action to safeguard their holdings.&nbsp;
Some of the best practices for avoiding AI scams include verifying the source and authenticity of any information or offer related to crypto before taking any action.&nbsp;

They should also never send crypto to unknown or untrusted addresses or platforms, especially if they promise unrealistic returns or rewards.
