00:07The eyes of football fans across the globe have turned to the World Cup, which runs until the 19th of
00:12July.
00:12Watching tense, fast-paced games requires a great deal of focus,
00:16but so does consuming World Cup content online,
00:19given that false pictures, images and videos are increasingly doing the rounds.
00:23For instance, social media users shared a photo of a football supporter who looked like Adolf Hitler,
00:29but the image was in fact altered and no such fan resembling Hitler was present at the game.
00:34We uploaded the photo to OpenAI's verification tool,
00:37which detected a synth ID in a visible watermark that indicates the image was AI-generated.
00:43Social media users also placed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
00:47in the stands of the Argentina-Austria game on the 22nd of June.
00:52There were no credible reports that he attended the match,
00:54and we found yet another synth ID on the image, showing it was falsified.
00:58This post alleges that Swedish footballer Lukas Bergvall told journalists
01:03that he appreciated all the love and support he was receiving from fans.
01:06He supposedly went on to add that every woman who has a crush on him
01:10should stop voting for mass migration, or his people would not exist anymore.
01:15We transcribed the clip, but there was no mention of migration.
01:18Instead, the clip dates back to March,
01:20and shows Bergvall answering a question ahead of a Sweden-Poland football match.
01:24Another false image depicted the UK's outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer
01:28in a Croatia jersey, alongside former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner.
01:32With a reverse image search, we found the original photo,
01:36which proved the real image had been altered.
