Leading global human rights organization Amnesty International is defending its choice to use an AI image generator to depict protests and police brutality in Colombia. Amnesty told Gizmodo it used an AI generator to depict human rights abuses so as to preserve the anonymity of vulnerable protestors. Experts fear, however, that the use of the tech could undermine the credibility of advocacy groups already besieged by authoritarian governments that cast doubt on the authenticity of real footage.
Amnesty International’s Norway regional account posted three images in a tweet thread over the weekend acknowledging the two-year anniversary of a major protest in Colombia where police brutalized protestors and committed “grave human rights violations,” the organization wrote. One image depicts a crowd of armor-clad police officers, another features an officer with a red splotch over his face. Another image shows a protestor being violently hauled away by police. The images, each of which feature their own clear telltale artifacts of AI-generated images also have a small note on the bottom left corner saying: “Illustrations produced by artificial intelligence.”

“Credibility”
Hint: It's not Amnesty International.
If they were being honest, they’d have had the AI simply replace the faces of the victims in actual photos with generic faces. Making up the images completely just raises the question of whether the abuses are even happening.
“Fake. But accurate.” Why don’t they just say that? /s
Who did not see this happening?
All the Fake News will be AI generated, not just some of the fake news.
Shamnesty International.
The last election was AI generated. Prove me wrong.
And yet people flee Venezuela for Colombia.
I can’t wait until “Pallywood” gets a hold of this!
Amnesty International = Homosexual Depravity
When real proof ain’t there, let the computer generate some fake “proof” for you...the whole world is becoming a computer-generated lie...
