US EditionAI Tools Fabricate Epstein Images 'in Seconds', Study Says
Study reveals AI-generated images of Jeffrey Epstein with five world leaders spread widely online, highlighting the growing challenge of disinformation, NewsGuard said.
- On Thursday, NewsGuard prompted three image generators to fabricate convincing photos of Jeffrey Epstein with five politicians including President Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu and Emmanuel Macron, with Grok Imagine producing "convincing fakes in seconds."
- The study follows the DOJ's release last week of more than three million documents, and an APA document photographed Thursday, Feb. 5, 2026 shows a 2008 monitoring for Jeffrey Epstein.
- AFP fact-checkers found fabricated images showing Epstein with politicians like Zohran Mamdani and Mira Nair, which circulated widely on social media platforms this week.
- Despite refusals, some systems still generated fake Epstein images; Google's Gemini declined to produce Epstein-Trump but made photos with four other politicians, and ChatGPT said it was `not able to create images involving real people with sexualized depictions of minors or scenarios that imply sexual abuse.`
- NewsGuard warned the findings show how easily bad actors create viral fakes, while AFP found a fabricated post falsely accusing Mark Carney with no evidence of involvement.
