The videos generated by AI are feeding the falsehoods about the conflict of Iran-Israel, says the researchers

In recent days, the videos generated by artificial intelligence have emerged online that they intend to show dramatic scenes of the Iran-Israel conflict, including a woman generated by AI that reports from a flame prison in Tehran and false images of high-rise buildings reduced to debris in Tel Aviv. Other manufactured images represent an Israeli military plane fallen.

These clips, some that have accumulated millions of views on platforms such as X and Tiktok, are the latter in A growth pattern of videos generated by AI that extend during the main events.

Researchers at the Media Center at the University of Clemson told News themezone that part of the content is being amplified in X by a coordinated network of accounts that promote the messenger of the Iranian opposition, with the aim of undermining confidence in the Iranian government.

Videos manufactured

Monday, Israel He made strikes in several sites In Iran, including the notorious Evin prison. A few minutes after the attack, a video began to circulate in X and other social media platforms that show an explosion at the entrance. The video is granulated, in black and white and seems to be security camera images.

But several visual anomalies indicate that the images may have been created using artificial intelligence, experts say, including an incorrect sign on the door and inconsistencies with the explosion.

Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and co -founder of the Startup of detection of the Labs Greal, told News themezone that she believes that the video may have been generated by an image tool to video of AI.

Farid said that recent advances in technology have helped bring more realistic videos with easier ways to create and share them quickly.

“A year ago it was [that] You could make a single image that was quite realistic, “said Farid.” Now it is a complete video with explosions, which looks like images of mobile hand -handed devices. “

The video had been published in X a few minutes from the Israeli attack of June 23 in the installation on an account that “has marks of not being authentic,” according to half Forensics Hub researchers.

Iranian and Israelis officials have not commented on the authenticity of the video.

Darren Linvill, co -director of the center of Forensics Media, told News themezone another video, which represented a reporter generated by the outside the prison, is the “perfect example” of a coordinated network that uses AI to circulate false information to broader audiences.

“You are not doing anything that one cannot do with the previous technology, it is just doing everything cheaper, faster and larger scale,” Linvill said. It is not clear who is behind the videos, said Linvill.

Responses from social media platforms

When asked about the videos of Iran-Israel generated by AI on its platform, a Tiktok spokesman told News themezone that the platform does not allow harmful wrong information or content generated by the authorized sources or crisis events, and has eliminated some of these videos.

An X spokesman sent News themezone to its community notes function, and said that some of the video publications generated by AI have received community notes to help combat false information.

As for how to avoid falling prey created with AI, Farid said: “Stop receiving your news from social networks, particularly in last minute events like this.”
