AI Deepfake of Robert Kiyosaki Sparks Chaotic Public Warning

Robert Kiyosaki issued one of his most unusual warnings yet after discovering a viral AI-generated deepfake video impersonating him and claiming he predicted a 50% crash in gold this December.

The bestselling author says he never made such a prediction and called the video “disturbing” as AI impersonation rapidly becomes a major threat to finance influencers and investors, according to the X post he shared on November 20.

Kiyosaki, known for his book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad,’ as well as his outspoken market commentary, said he came across the fake clip on YouTube. Specifically, the deepfake showed an AI-generated version of him delivering a fabricated claim about an imminent collapse in gold prices.

Indeed, the finance educator stresses that the prediction was entirely false. He also noted how easy it is for AI tools to generate convincing impersonations, warning millions of followers to stay alert as AI deepfakes begin to infiltrate trading communities.

Growing Threat to Trust in Financial Content

At the same time, Kiyosaki used humor to soften the message, joking that if someone wanted to invent lies about him, they could at least claim something outrageous and absurd. But beneath the humor was a serious point: deepfake content is becoming sophisticated enough to distort markets, manipulate sentiment, and mislead investors who believe they’re hearing from trusted voices.

The author compared the spread of AI-generated misinformation to a broader theme he often discusses: systems creating what he calls “fake signals” that appear real at first glance. Moreover, in his post, he referenced the Federal Reserve creating “fake money,” drawing a parallel to AI systems creating “fake people.” 

His concern reflects a growing industry-wide issue as fraudulent AI content becomes more accessible, more convincing, and harder for casual viewers to detect.

Kiyosaki ended his post with a philosophical warning, referencing a quote about life becoming what one pretends it to be. He urged followers to stay vigilant, question the authenticity of viral financial content, and remain alert to impersonators exploiting new AI capabilities.
