AI Fake Videos Complicate Disaster Warnings in China

Storms and floods can be scary. People need good information to stay safe. But fake videos are spreading online during some disasters in China.

Some videos show floods in places where there is no flood. Other posts say that the power has stopped when this is not true. These false posts can make people worry and buy emergency supplies in panic.

Some fake videos may be made with AI. AI can make pictures and videos that look real. This makes it harder to know what is true.

During an emergency, people should check the source of a video. They should use trusted warnings and not share information they cannot check.
