AI Deepfakes Targeting World Leaders on Social Media
Update: 2025-12-31
Description
AI-generated deepfakes targeting world leaders are spreading rapidly on social media, with videos of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and US President Donald Trump going viral. These fakes, which mix real footage with AI voices and glitchy overlays, are often shared by content farms seeking clicks. Fact-checkers have found that some of these videos are nearly 70% fake, while others are almost entirely AI-generated. The videos often exploit hot-button fears like price hikes or lockdowns, and some viewers are fooled into believing them. Experts warn of eroding trust and supercharged biases threatening democracy, and advise staying sharp and double-checking sources before sharing. Checkout Solipillow.com
