Paris (AFP) - US singer Katy Perry said even her own mother was fooled by AI-generated fake images she posted Tuesday of herself pretending to attend the Met Gala in New York. "Couldn't make it to the MET, I had to work," the "Firework" singer wrote to her 207 million followers on Instagram. But two photos with it appear to show Perry on the famous steps of the Metropolitan Museum, which hosted the glitziest fashion night of the year on Monday. One had her wearing a huge floral dress, while a second had her in a warrior-style bronze bustier and grass petticoat. She put her location as "Met...

Meta’s Facebook and Instagram last week (30 April) became subject to an investigation under the EU’s online platform rules for seemingly lacking the robustness to counter Russian disinformation, the latest in a series of probes into platforms’ handling of the Digital Services Act (DSA).

Washington (AFP) - Illegal immigration on the US southern border is a top talking point among Republican politicians, but some are taking it a step further by promoting disinformation about non-citizens voting in the presidential election.

AFP has extensively debunked those claims in both English and Spanish, explaining that non-citizens cannot vote in federal elections ...

Researchers have developed a computer game to help students better spot fake news, according to a study. Their experiment involved 516 Swedish upper secondary school students from four different institutions. The game, called Bad News, was created through a collaboration between researchers from the University of Cambridge and video game studios. In Bad News, the user plays “the role of fake news-monger” to get people accustomed to manipulation techniques used to mislead an audience. The game breaks down six practices commonly levered in misinformation: impersonation, emotion, polarisation, co...
