ミャンマー大だい地震じしん SNSに生成せいせいAIで作成さくせいの偽にせ動画どうがも拡散かくさんか 注意ちゅういを

Regarding the major earthquake that occurred in central Myanmar, fake videos believed to be generated by AI are spreading on social media.

Magnitude 7 earthquake centered in central Myanmar occurred on the 28th of this month

After the magnitude 7 earthquake, many videos capturing the local situation and calls for support have been posted on social media, while multiple fake videos believed to be created by generative AI have also been confirmed.

<br><br>Among these, a video that appears to have been shot from the air showing many buildings collapsing in a town with a Buddhist temple tower has been viewed over 100,000 times on X in Japanese, but when NHK investigated the original video, it was confirmed that there is a watermark from a service that creates videos using generative AI.

<br><br>This fake video spread in various languages and was cited by media in countries such as Indonesia and Russia as depicting the situation in disaster-stricken areas.

The video, which appears to show a road cracking between buildings in post-earthquake Myanmar from an aerial view, has been posted multiple times on X and viewed over 3 million times. However, there are unnatural aspects such as no people moving in the video, and some of the videos that spread on X have TikTok account names listed.
