That's right, Dana.

Social media is where generative AI is being used to a much greater extent than in previous conflicts, creating fake images and video at a rate that makes it nearly impossible to counter in real time.

To talk more about that, I'm joined now by Masa Alimardani, who leads the Technology Threats and Opportunities Program at the human rights organization, Witness.

Thanks for joining me, Masa.

Thanks for having me.

Generative AI has been used extensively to create fabricated images and video that have flooded social media and even some state-run media since the beginning of this war.

What are one or two examples of what you think have been the most widely spread or even dangerous fake images or videos of the war so far?

So then how does the use of AI-generated imagery blur that line between psychological warfare and traditional battlefields reporting in the Iran war?

Well, when altered or completely artificial images of destruction circulate faster than footage can be verified, who ultimately controls the war narrative?

What about the effects of repeated exposure to convincing AI-generated images?

To what extent does being inundated with these fake images reshape international public perception?

And then does that influence Wayne if imagery is debunked?

Do fact checkers help quickly enough to be able to change people's minds about especially popular AI images out there?

Thank you so much for being with us, Masa.

They're high.

It's really disappointing.

That's right, Dana.

For decades, oil has been the major resource that we in the West tend to associate with the Middle East.

But today, the real vulnerability could be water.
