Rafael Nadal has been at the center of a headline-grabbing episode this week as he publicly warned fans about a surge of fake AI-generated videos featuring his image and voice, purportedly offering financial advice and investment tips. According to NBC Sports and The Times of India, Nadal took the unusual step of posting an urgent message on LinkedIn and across social media, declaring, I want to share this message of caution something unusual for my social media but necessary. He stressed these videos are examples of misleading advertising, completely unrelated to him and asked fans to be especially vigilant, firmly stating he has neither made nor endorsed any such statements. This alert comes at a moment when AI deepfakes are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with public figures frequently falling victim to manipulated videos and voice clones. As reported by SFGate and Tennis UpToDate, Nadal emphasized that artificial intelligence holds enormous promise for progress in areas like education and medicine, but also warned of the dangers, saying society now faces the challenge of distinguishing between what is real and what is manipulated. His message calls for responsible and ethical use of technology, urging the public to use critical thinking and skepticism in the face of online content. Ground News notes that cybersecurity specialists have echoed his concerns, saying manipulated content is much harder for the average viewer to detect, and Nadal's warning highlights the urgent need for better digital safeguards. While Nadal has largely kept a low profile post-retirement apart from this statement, he was recently honored at the French Open with a commemorative plaque, but there have been no major sports comebacks or tournament returns in recent days. There is no confirmed activity on the business front or new endorsements, nor has there been any verified controversy involving his foundation or academy. Social media has lit up with support from fans and fellow athletes who applaud his proactive stance against digital fraud, but speculation about any new career moves or coaching roles remains just that, speculation, with no credible reports of such activity. As AI-driven scams surge globally, the Nadal headline—Tennis Legend Rafael Nadal Warns Fans About Fake AI Videos Using His Image To Sell Investment Schemes—has dominated both mainstream news and trending hashtags, solidifying his voice as an advocate for digital responsibility in the face of rapid technological change.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
