"A powerful earthquake in Afghanistan had killed at least 1,400 people and destroyed over 5,000 homes. The mountainous terrain makes rescue efforts difficult. As the death toll continues to climb, rescue workers are trying to reach survivors. The midnight earthquake was followed by several aftershocks. The UN has estimated that the earthquake might affect hundreds of thousands in total. DW fact checkers have debunked some of the most popular claims."
"DW Fact check: False. This video is fake. To be more precise, it was generated with the help of artifical intelligence (AI). There are several obvious clues in the footage, such as the fact that there are no identifiable faces in the video. A few figures appear to be moving in the eight-second-long clip, but their movements appear unnatural, almost robotic."
A powerful earthquake in Afghanistan killed at least 1,400 people and destroyed over 5,000 homes. The mountainous terrain and aftershocks have made rescue efforts difficult and slowed access to remote communities. The UN estimated that hundreds of thousands of people might be affected. Rescue workers continue to search for survivors amid rising death tolls. Concurrently, fake and AI-generated images and videos claiming to show the disaster's aftermath have circulated widely on social media. Fact-checkers have debunked some of the most popular false claims, identifying AI generation, unnatural movements, and missing identifiable faces as key indicators of inauthentic footage.
