In the midst of the military conflict in Israel-Iran ongoing, users of Pakistani social networks seem to believe that the statement that a demonstration was held in Israel, asking Pakistan to help stop Iran’s retaliation attacks.
The claim is false. The video is generated by AI.
Say
On June 18, a user on X (previously Twitter) published a 13 second video video with the title: “Now even Israeli Jews are asking for help from Pakistan, saying that Pakistan will save us and help us stop the attacks of Iran.”
In the footage, you can see people carrying Israeli flags and posters with Hebrew writing, singing: “Stop to Iran. Pakistan, only you can help. Pekistaní, please stop Iran.”
At the time of writing, the video had seen more than 96,600 times, it was published again more than 490 times and liked more than 1,100 times.
Made
An independent analysis confirms that the video was created using artificial intelligence tools.
Geographic data verification He used atstiv, a AI content platform based in the USA and a digital forensic platform, to examine the video. ATESTIV gave images taken from the clip a high handling score of 88, indicating that the content was not authentic.
Geographic data verification He also used the modmena moderation, a content detection platform generated by AI, which found that the video was 84% of probabilities of having been generated using artificial intelligence.
There are also visible anomalies in the footage. Some of the faces seem too soft, a known marker of Deepfake content, identified by Mit Media Lab Research.
