Germany Demands Platforms Remove Holocaust Deepfakes
Germany's government and Holocaust memorial institutions this week demanded social media platforms stop the spread of AI-generated images that distort the Nazis' killing of more than six million Jews. In a Jan. 13 letter, memorial sites including Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald and Dachau warned that "AI Slop" fabricates emotional scenes, fuels mistrust of authentic records and should be clearly marked, removed or barred from monetisation. Culture minister Wolfram Weimer backed the call.
