The AI fakes fuelling Trump v Zelensky row (and how to spot them)

Shortly after February's meeting in the White House, the internet was flooded with fake videos of Trump and Zelensky's coming together, including one that showed Zelensky punching Trump, and another where Trump claims Zelensky bought his suit on Temu.

Artificial intelligence has improved a lot in recent times, and can look very realistic, so it's important to take a step back before sharing videos like this with your friends or family. It's a good idea to look out for any [signs that something may be artificially generated](https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zbkr7v4), including:

* Lips not moving in sync with the words

* Unusual phrasing or mispronunciations of words

* Unnatural movements or actions

Some accounts will use AI generated content for comedy, and they might label it as such. Look out for any notes in the caption as this could be a clue that something has been created for fun, but if something fun is shared in the wrong context then it might cause trouble.

When breaking news of this nature happens, it's important to get your information from a reliable source, such as the website of a reputable news outlet or their verified social media account.
