00:01This AI-generated photo allegedly shows a prisoner in the Auschwitz extermination camp.
00:07And these AI videos are supposed to show the liberation of prisoners from concentration camps by the allied forces.
00:14While this AI content is circulating on social media, it's not actually original footage.
00:19Take a closer look.
00:23The violin only has three strings.
00:27The prisoner uniform does not resemble the striped original.
00:32And some of the men are wearing belts, which were not part of the prison uniform.
00:39Spotting these details requires time and background knowledge.
00:46As AI-generated images and videos are improving, it's becoming a lot harder to tell fakes apart from historical footage.
00:55AI-fakes are creating a misleading picture of the Holocaust.
00:59I suspect that these images change what we're used to seeing.
01:04The images seem polished.
01:07What they depict is not realistic at all.
01:10Fragments of the camps such as fences or watchtowers are used, but they don't correspond to historical reality.
01:18But not only the images are changing.
01:22AI-fakes also overwrite and devalue the stories of the victims.
01:28The images of the real people who were murdered in Auschwitz is part of the story.
01:33And here is something that is distorting the historical authenticity.
01:39But then on another level, you can find posts that not only generate an image, but the image isn't based
01:46on any real person.
01:47The whole story is AI-generated. The name, the biography, very personal details that these posts write, and everything is
01:55fake.
01:57AI-generated content presents fictional stories as seemingly authentic.
02:01This makes it more difficult for users to distinguish historical facts from fakes.
02:06Some people try to exploit this politically.
02:12In the wake of these AI-fakes, we have also found that revisionist far-right actors are using this content
02:21to try to tell a denialist version of the history of the camps.
02:27This is a dilution of actual historical facts.
02:36Oh my son.
02:36The Stern Which makes you feel Oh my word...
