What is the truth about the photo being circulated as the latest appearance of the Iraqi artist Alaa Hussein?
A photo circulated on social media platforms captioned: “The artist Alaa Hussein made her most recent appearance as a basketball player, looking like she was 16 years old.”
The clarification:
The circulating photo is not realistic, as it was created by the (epik) program, which is used to create images with artificial intelligence technology, through which images can be improved and modified, and images can also be merged.
Also, actress Alaa Hussein shared the photo with other photos via her account on November 3, 2023, as part of a trend bearing the hashtag (yearbookchallenge), indicating that the photos were generated by artificial intelligence, and commented on the post that she shared:
“The app uses your face on photos from the 1990s, making you look like a foreigner.”
