Donald Trump Accuses Iran of Using AI to Spread War Disinformation

US President Donald Trump on Sunday (local time) accused Iran of spreading artificial intelligence-generated disinformation about the ongoing conflict and criticised media organisations for reporting what he called “false information” about damage to American military assets. 

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, “Iran has long been known as a Master of Media Manipulation and Public Relations. They are militarily ineffective and weak, but



are really good at ‘feeding’ the very appreciative Fake News Media false information.”

He also alleged that Tehran has begun using artificial intelligence (AI) as a “disinformation weapon.” “Now, A.I. has become another disinformation weapon that Iran uses, quite well, considering they are being annihilated by the day,” he said. Trump said some visuals circulating online about Iranian attacks on ships are “false information.”
