Hamburg – Normally he stands for absolute seriousness when he reads the reports of the day in Germany’s most important news program!

Now scammers on the Internet have constructed a lousy stock trap with “Tagesschau” spokesman André Schünke (43) – apparently with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).

The Hamburg news man suddenly appears in a dubious advertising video on Facebook. Excerpts from the news were stolen and it looks as if Schünke is advertising a financial product. Lotto millionaire Chico (42) from NRW was also cut into the video. It is claimed that he was an ordinary worker and got rich with the financial product. Now he can finally afford a Porsche

The video spreads to corporate sites that have nothing to do with the scam.

What exactly is it about? One should register for a platform called “Quantum”, there are said to be high returns. A powerful investment platform in which more than 10,000 Germans are said to have already invested – controlled by artificial intelligence.

Up to 21,000 euros per month

Algorithms are said to generate profits on various stock exchanges, including stock trading. The total investment is said to be over 765 million euros, and you can earn up to 21,000 euros per month. Every caller who registers gets a call from an advisor. The entire advertising text is spoken with Schünke’s voice, composed with artificial intelligence from “Tagesschau” contributions.

André Schünke is appalled. He told BILD: “It can be frightening what is possible with artificial intelligence nowadays. And I’m afraid this is just the beginning. It’s hard to tell the difference between the original and the fake. Especially when people just scroll through quickly with their cell phone. Really dangerous: They think that’s recommended by a daily news spokesman. Then I can do it…”

And further: “I have already dealt with the topic independently of the current case. In this video you can still see the comic emphasis. But if the AIs continue to learn, we will see even more blatant fakes in the future. For example, if the programs learn to emphasize the language differently, I don’t know how to tell the difference between the original and the fake in the future. This makes it all the more important to also educate schools about AIs. I also do this regularly with a non-profit organization. It’s just a coincidence that I’m dealing with this topic. Now I have an example that affects me.”
