What is the claim? A viral Facebook video featuring Indian social worker and philanthropist Sudha Murthy claims she has launched a project enabling people to earn Rs 100,000 ($ 1,183) a day. Continues below advertisement window.addEventListener("load", function() { let ad_unit_fire_time = 1000; if(ad_delay_time_abp > 0){ ad_unit_fire_time = parseInt(ad_delay_time_abp) + 500; } setTimeout(function () { googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1253031-3"); }); },ad_unit_fire_time) }); The 3-minute, 54-second video shows Murthy promoting a project that is claimed to help people "earn Rs 2.8 million a month." She states that only 100 people are eligible for the offer, with just 50 spots available. Murthy further explains that they have created artificial intelligence-powered software that will allow participants to earn Rs 100,000 daily. She further mentions that the software was tested with a small group, where users reportedly earned Rs 5.7 million in the first week. According to her, the number of users will grow once the government begins selling the project. To join, viewers are encouraged to visit the linked website and submit their details. An archived version of the video is available here . A screenshot of the social media post. (Source: Facebook/Modified by Logically Facts) However, our investigation found the claim to be false. The video was manipulated using deepfake technology to promote a fake money-making scam. Murthy has not announced any such project. Video of Sudha Murthy has been altered Our investigation included reverse image searches on keyframes of the video, revealing similar (archive here ) short clips published by a YouTube channel called 'Mohammed Ahsan's Library.' In these videos, Murthy can be seen wearing the same saree and sitting in the same setting. However, in these original videos, Murthy discusses topics like raising children (archived here ), romance, and her relationship (archived here ) with her husband, Indian billionaire businessman Narayana Murthy. None of these videos, however, mention a money-making project. Comparison between the fake video and the original video. (Source: Facebook/YouTube/Modified by Logically Facts) Further analysis of the audio reveals noticeable discrepancies. The voice in the viral video sounds robotic, with an accent unlike Murthy's. Additionally, her lip movements seem altered to match the fabricated voice, suggesting the use of deepfake technology. The Misinformation Combat Alliance's Deepfakes Analysis Unit (DAU), which Logically Facts is a part of, analyzed the audio using deepfake detection tools Hive Audio Detector, Hiya AI Voice Detection, and TrueMedia. TrueMedia identified substantial manipulation, detecting facial alterations with 97 percent confidence and AI-generated audio with 100 percent certainty, likely created using cloning software (99 percent confidence). It also flagged facial feature discrepancies with 65 percent confidence. Image shows the deepfake detection results by TrueMedia. (Source: TrueMedia/Modified by Logically Facts) Hiya AI Voice Detection confirmed that the audio is fake, with only a 1 percent match to live human markers. Hive AI's detector identified only five segments of the audio as "Not AI-generated," while the visual analysis confirmed the video as a deepfake with minimal doubt.

According to the page’s transparency details, its primary locations are Hong Kong, Indonesia, Ukraine, and the United States. The page name is written in Thai and reads “Ranong Provincial Police Station,” based in Thailand. The image shows the primary location of the managers of the Facebook page. (Source: Facebook/Screenshot) Altered video of Narayana Murthy We discovered that the video links to a website called 'inirliff.com,' which masquerades as a news article from The Times of India. The page mimics the design of the national daily's website, including its masthead and navigation options. The article claims that Indian citizens can earn Rs 2 million by investing Rs 21,000, with registration closing on November 22. However, The Times of India has not published any such article. The website is fake and designed to deceive users. It lacks contact information or external links, and interacting with the masthead or sections redirects users to the bottom of the page. A screenshot of the fake website, which looks like the Times of India news website. (Source: Inirliff.com/Screenshot) The fake website includes a deepfake video of Narayana Murthy, repeating the same claims as the altered Sudha Murthy video. The 4:41-minute clip was created by modifying lip movements and generating a fake voice using AI. A reverse image search traced the original video (archive here ) to a 25:35-minute CNBC-TV18 interview featuring both Murthys. Narayana Murthy does not discuss any such project in the original. The deepfake was constructed by splicing segments from the interview, with the first 19 seconds taken from the 22:29 to 22:48 mark. TrueMedia confirmed the audio was AI-generated with 100 percent confidence and flagged unusual facial patterns with 48 percent confidence. Hive AI detected manipulation across multiple video frames, classifying all but 20 seconds of audio as AI-generated. Hiya AI Voice Detection also confirmed the audio was AI-created. Similar deepfake scams involving former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and businessman Gautam Adani featured nearly identical audio scripts, differing only in names and earnings claims. What does the fake website do? The website claims that a software called Quantum AI can help individuals earn Rs 2 million per month by investing just Rs 21,000. It features fabricated testimonials from people allegedly earning millions with minimal investment. Users are asked to fill out a form with their contact information, likely to collect personal data and potentially defraud them. A screenshot of the fake website shows the contact form. (Source: Inirliff.com/Screenshot) The website also claims to have partnerships with major Indian companies like Tata Group, HDFC Bank, Infosys, Reliance, and the State Bank of India. However, there is no evidence that any of these companies are involved with Quantum AI. What is Quantum AI? We've previously fact-checked similar deepfake videos featuring figures like Elon Musk and Narayana Murthy promoting fraudulent schemes involving software like Quantum AI. These claims are false. Quantum AI does not exist as legitimate software to help people earn money; scammers use such terms to make their schemes seem more credible. The verdict Deepfake videos of Sudha Murthy and Narayana Murthy have been used to falsely promote a project that supposedly allows people to earn Rs 100,000 a day. The videos and associated claims are part of a deceptive scam. This report first appeared on logicallyfacts.com , and has been republished on ABP Live as part of a special arrangement. Apart from the headline, no changes have been made in the report by ABP Live.Microsoft on Wednesday denied claims that it uses customer data from its Microsoft 365 applications, including Word and Excel, to train artificial intelligence models. The response came after some users pointed out on social media that the company requires users to opt-out of its "connected experiences" feature, which they argued was used to train AI models. "These claims are untrue. Microsoft does not use customer data from Microsoft 365 consumer and commercial applications to train foundational large language models," a Microsoft spokesperson said in an emailed statement to Reuters. The spokesperson added that the "connected experiences" enables features such as co-authoring and cloud storage, and has no connection to how the company trains its large language models. The conversations on social media indicate that people remain concerned about their data being used to train AI models without permission.

FORT MYERS, Fla. , Nov. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A landmark in cancer treatment has come full circle, as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved revumenib , a revolutionary drug for relapsed or refractory acute leukemia with a KMT2A translocation on November 15, 2024 . This life-saving therapy, first administered to a Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute, LLC (FCS) patient at its Sarasota Drug Development Unit (DDU) in 2019 as part of a Phase 1 clinical trial, is now available to patients nationwide. The very first patient to ever receive this groundbreaking treatment was referred by FCS medical oncologist/hematologist Muhammad Imam , MD to FCS Director of Drug Development Manish R. Patel , MD at the FCS Sarasota DDU, one of three early-phase clinical trial sites within the statewide practice. This milestone underscores FCS' fundamental role in the development of this drug, which has now gained FDA approval for its remarkable ability to target and treat MLL-rearranged leukemia. "This latest FDA approval of revumenib is a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration—values deeply embedded in our practice's history," said FCS President & Managing Physician Lucio N. Gordan , MD . "Since treating the first patient in 2019, we've believed in the transformative potential of this therapy for leukemia patients. It's moments like these that affirm our longstanding commitment to advancing oncology care through research. This milestone not only validates that belief but also brings hope to countless individuals facing this devastating disease, reflecting the unwavering dedication of our team to improving lives." Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are rare and aggressive blood cancers often resistant to standard treatments. This new drug, specifically designed to target the genetic abnormalities driving the disease, has demonstrated exceptional efficacy in clinical trials, significantly improving remission rates and overall survival. Dr. Patel, the principal investigator for the clinical trial at FCS, shared his perspective on the approval: "Conducting this trial was an extraordinary scientific and clinical journey. We observed firsthand the profound impact this therapy had on patients who previously faced limited treatment options. The FDA's approval represents the culmination of years of rigorous research, collaborative effort, and the unwavering commitment of our team. Most importantly, it honors the bravery of the patients who participated and trusted us to pursue this innovative approach." FCS played a critical role in the clinical trial phase of the drug's development, working in collaboration with Sarah Cannon Research Institute . The FDA's approval represents years of dedicated effort from the global medical and scientific communities. With three early-phase drug development sites and 30 late-phase locations across Florida , FCS boasts one of the nation's most extensive oncology research programs. Patients benefit from access to over 180 clinical trials at any given time, with more than 600 individuals receiving cutting-edge treatments annually. Notably, the majority of new cancer drugs recently approved for use in the U.S. underwent clinical trials involving FCS' participation before gaining approval.

'There are people using this as a politicization': Head of Intercommunity Health condemns politicians over Safe Supply criticismsThe annual iPhone release is a major event, sparking excitement and anticipation among tech enthusiasts and casual users alike. But before you rush to pre-order the latest model, consider this: you might actually get a better deal, and a better phone, if you wait until the following year. This might seem counterintuitive. After all, who doesn’t want the shiniest new gadget? However, there are compelling reasons why delaying your iPhone purchase can be a smart move, both financially and technologically . We’ll delve into the historical trends, analyze the tech cycle, and explore the potential benefits of holding onto your current phone for just a little longer. The iPhone Tick-Tock Cycle: Understanding Apple’s Release Strategy For years, Apple has followed a somewhat predictable pattern when it comes to iPhone releases. Major redesigns and significant feature upgrades are typically introduced every other year, followed by an “S” year with more incremental improvements. This has been referred to as the “tick-tock” cycle. Historically, waiting for the “tock” year has often meant getting a more polished and refined version of the “tick” year’s phone, often with fewer initial bugs and potentially at a lower price. Why Waiting Might Be Worth It But What If I Really Want the Latest and Greatest? Of course, there are valid reasons to opt for the newest iPhone. If you’re someone who: In these cases, the premium price and potential early adopter risks might be worth it. Real-World Example: The iPhone 14 vs. the (Potential) iPhone 15 Let’s look at a recent example. The iPhone 14 Pro brought significant changes: a new “Dynamic Island” notch replacement, an always-on display, and a 48MP main camera. However, early users reported some bugs and issues, including camera shaking in third-party apps and problems with the always-on display draining battery life. Now, consider the rumored iPhone 15. It is expected to refine the iPhone 14’s features, potentially addressing those early issues. It may also introduce a more efficient processor, improved battery life, and perhaps even a periscope zoom camera. Plus, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will likely see a price drop, making them a more attractive option . Beyond the Tick-Tock: The Evolving iPhone Landscape It’s worth noting that Apple’s release cycle isn’t always perfectly predictable. The iPhone 14 line, for example, saw a bigger difference between the standard models and the Pro models, suggesting a shift in strategy. Furthermore, factors like global chip shortages and economic conditions can influence release schedules and pricing. It’s always wise to stay informed about the latest rumors and official announcements from Apple before making a purchasing decision. Making the Right Choice for You Ultimately, the decision of whether to buy an iPhone now or wait depends on your individual needs, budget, and priorities. By carefully weighing these factors, you can make an informed decision and get the best iPhone for your needs at the best possible price.

Driving through the Medical Innovation District in Fort Worth’s Near Southside, it’s impossible to overlook the various construction layouts, workers, vehicles and cranes turning dirt and moving projects forward. After all, every major health system in Fort Worth — Baylor Scott & White Health, Cook Children’s Health Care System, JPS Health Network, Medical City Healthcare, Moncrief Cancer Institute and Texas Health Resources — is undergoing a major expansion that will help grow the city’s medical capabilities in the coming years. Robert Sturns, the city’s director of economic development, said these plans are driven by “a need for these institutions to expand their capacity based on the massive population growth that Fort Worth — and North Texas in general — has seen over the past several years.” “It’s important that Fort Worth’s medical ecosystem continues to keep pace with its population growth, so high-quality patient care is accessible to as many people as possible,” he said in a statement. Major health systems across Tarrant County say their expansion projects will provide upgraded technology and better care to patients, officials said in interviews with the Report. “I don’t think it’s an overstatement to say it’s probably the most exciting time in the history of the Near Southside’s Medical District,” Mike Brennan, president of Near Southside Inc., said.

Baylor Scott & White to raise new Fort Worth garage, building Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center is currently undergoing construction on a new five-story parking garage that will improve access and parking as part of “a long-term plan to grow our campus,” according to the hospital’s website . Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center is the Fort Worth branch of Baylor Scott & White Health. The Fort Worth hospital has 538 beds and offers a range of medical services, which include emergency care, labor and delivery, surgery and cancer care. The Fort Worth hospital is also constructing a new four-story office building called Baylor All Saints Professional Pavilion II that will sit on top of the parking garage. The office building, which totals 100,000 square feet, is expected to be complete in the first quarter of 2025, according to LoopNet. Charles Williams , president of Baylor Scott & White All Saints, said he is proud to be building on a legacy “of more than 100 years of service in our communities.” “For us, growth isn’t just physical buildings,” he said in a statement. “That means we want to help our patients and customers with what they need to live better, whether it is high-quality care in a hospital setting, convenient care when and where they want it, like on their smartphones or in the comfort of their homes, or wellness offerings to avoid needing ‘sick care’ altogether.” Cook Children’s lays groundwork for 10-year expansion plan Cook Children’s Health Care System is setting the stage for growth by embarking on a 10-year master plan to expand and enhance its Fort Worth medical center located in the heart of the Medical District. The plan will kick off with the construction of a 700,000-square-foot medical tower that is currently labeled as the West Tower. The facility will be an extension of the existing medical center — which currently spans 2.5 million square feet — and make way for an expansion of the neonatal intensive care with an additional 37 beds. The West Tower also allows for an expansion and redesign of the pediatric intensive care unit and increases capacity for hematology and oncology services. The building will add additional operating rooms and imaging services. Cook Children’s anticipates it will start construction of the West Tower by the end of 2025. The health system previously declined to provide information about the total cost of the tower. “It’s an ambitious plan, but it’s exactly what we need to support the growing population and demand for services in our area,” Rick W. Merrill, president and CEO of Cook Children’s Health Care System, said in a statement. The pediatric health system’s master plan will add a total of 1 million square feet to the medical campus over the span of 10 years. JPS nears completion of first project in master facility plan Since 2018, JPS Health Network — also known as the Tarrant County Hospital District — has been undergoing construction on its master facility plan . The hospital system’s master facility plan is supported by an $800 million bond package voters approved in 2018. The plan details new facilities, including a medical home , psychiatric emergency center , medical outpatient building, pavilion expansion and a new hospital. JPS leaders originally estimated the total cost of the plan at roughly $1.2 billion with the county hospital prepared to contribute $400 million to ensure the expansion. But progress on the master facility plan slowed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, JPS president and CEO Dr. Karen Duncan previously told the Report. Six years later, the hospital district estimated the total cost of the plan would jump to $2.1 billion due to increased labor costs, price of materials and inflation affecting the health care industry. Because of financial changes and reprioritization , JPS has since removed three medical homes that were included in the original proposal from its master facility plan. The only medical home currently in the plan is set to open in southwest Fort Worth in early 2025. This will be the first JPS master facility plan project to be completed. “Texas has one of the highest populations of uninsured individuals , so for JPS to be able to provide that access for those individuals who would have no opportunity to have access to health care ... is really exciting for us,” Duncan told the Report in a follow-up interview. Per the original plans, JPS’ next project, the psychiatric emergency center, is set to open in summer 2025. That project will increase the hospital district’s behavioral health capacity from 30 beds to roughly 90. The master facility plan will conclude with new hospital towers in winter 2029 — more than a decade after the approval of the bond package. “Whether it’s building the design or starting construction, all of those (master facility plan) projects have now started,” she said. “We are still working through the towers. Is it one? Is it two? Is it three? That doesn’t have an answer yet.” Medical City Fort Worth to grow its Tarrant reach Medical City Fort Worth recently confirmed to the Report it is in the planning stages of a $37 million expansion project that will include a cardiac laboratory and four operating rooms. Construction, which is budgeted at $18 million, is set to begin in early 2025. The new laboratory and operating rooms will take up roughly 17,380 square feet within the existing hospital, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. In a follow-up interview with the Report, Medical City Fort Worth CEO John Hoover said the hospital decided to expand its services to keep up with the population growth in Tarrant and surrounding Parker and Johnson counties. Hoover did not provide additional information about the remaining $19 million of the expansion plans, but said some of those costs are linked to permitting and architectural fees. Medical City Fort Worth is also in the early stages of exploring an expansion of its Tower B , which currently houses emergency services, surgical patient rooms and neuro intensive care unit rooms, Hoover added. “We’ve begun the beginning phases of engagement with our architects and some contractors around a vertical tower expansion, so that could range anywhere from 30 to up close to 100 incremental beds,” he told the Report. Moncrief Cancer Institute looks to expand its facility UT Southwestern is looking to grow its Moncrief Cancer Institute with a $177 million expansion project. Moncrief Cancer Institute offers medical and surgical oncology, chemotherapy, imaging and a compounding pharmacy. UT Southwestern currently owns a parcel across the street from the cancer center and intends to use the property to expand by nearly 65,000 square feet to accommodate a new radiation oncology facility and parking garage. Before its plan can become a reality, the cancer center has to navigate several government entities for the nod on one major request that is necessary for the expansion: to permanently close a block of South Jennings Avenue . In late June, representatives for UT Southwestern received unanimous approval from Fort Worth’s Urban Design Commission for the street closure recommendation. The proposal will head to Fort Worth City Council at a later date for final approval. Dr. Jonathan Efron, executive vice president for health system affairs at UT Southwestern, said the medical center wants to grow the capabilities of cancer services in Fort Worth. “What we have found is that within the Fort Worth area, unlike in Dallas, there is a shortage of the machines that provide radiation therapy,” he told the Report. “Some patients are having to travel elsewhere every day and we’re excited to fill that void.” If Moncrief Cancer Institute receives the final necessary approval, the project is expected to break ground in spring 2025 and complete construction in spring 2028. Texas Health Fort Worth to renovate floors in its Justin Tower Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth completed work on its nine-story Jane and John Justin Tower in early 2022. The $300 million expansion project — the largest in the history of the nonprofit Texas Health Resources — added 440,00 square feet, 144 patient beds, 15 surgical suites and new preoperative and post-operative units to the Fort Worth campus. Jared Shelton, who was named president of Texas Health Fort Worth in September, told the Report the addition of the Justin Tower has been “an unbelievable success” as the hospital grows its service areas to patients from across Texas. “Everybody who’s been in (Justin Tower) recognizes what a blessing it is for our campus to be able to offer the latest and greatest in health care, larger rooms — the most up-to-date technology,” he said. “It’s really a legacy project for Texas Health Fort Worth.” With the success of Justin Tower has come a growing need for more services. The tower has almost immediately filled up, Shelton added. Texas Health Fort Worth is in the planning process of building out areas on the fourth and fifth floors of the tower. Renovations are set to begin at the end of the first quarter of 2025 and will last through 2026, Shelton said. “Those (floors) were shelled out for us to be able to grow into as there was patient demand, and we’re already seeing that demand,” he said. “It’ll add around 70 beds to Justin Tower.” David Moreno is the health reporter for the Fort Worth Report.
