X Platform Faces AI Deepfake Challenge

AI-generated war videos, including deepfakes, are causing confusion on Elon Musks X platform during the Middle East conflict. X has implemented a new policy to combat this, suspending creators from revenue sharing for unlabeled AI war videos and banning repeat offenders. However, disinformation experts express doubt about the policys effectiveness, as verified accounts continue to share unlabeled AI clips. Despite the policy, fake videos continue to spread rapidly, outpacing fact-checkers and even fooling Xs own Grok chatbot. Enforcement is challenging due to the low number of monetized posters and the low publication rate of Community Notes.
