Experts Debunk Viral Images of Dead Infants in Israel-Gaza War as AI Fakes

Experts have revealed that a significant number of viral photos depicting dead infants in the Israel-Gaza conflict are AI fakes, designed to manipulate public opinion. The use of AI-generated images, particularly those involving children, is a disturbing trend that is expected to worsen. The dissemination of fake images not only distorts the reality of the conflict but also undermines genuine documentation of the horrors of war. Detecting AI-manipulated content is challenging, and efforts to debunk such disinformation are often outpaced by those creating it. Experts emphasize the need for stronger regulations and collaboration between governments and the public and private sectors to address this escalating problem.
