Changpeng Zhao, former Binance CEO, took to social media to raise alarm over artificial intelligence’s rapid evolution.
“I couldn’t distinguish it from my real voice,” he admitted on X.
Deepfake Clip Shows CZ Speaking Fluent Mandarin
The video snippet he shared featured what looked like him speaking Mandarin, generated entirely by AI. The resemblance, both visually and vocally, was uncanny.
Zhao didn’t specify who created it or for what purpose, but his message was clear: this tech is getting dangerously good.
A Call for Awareness as AI Blurs Reality
While CZ has always embraced emerging technologies, this moment seemed to mark a shift. His post carried a serious undertone, warning followers to stay alert as AI continues to blur lines between real and fake.
As deepfake capabilities improve, industry leaders like Zhao are urging the public to question what they see—and hear—online.
