STAT News reports that on Feb. 26–27, 2026, US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted a series of short, AI-generated and edited videos depicting himself in surreal scenarios, including an action-figure fight and staged exercise clips. The posts—some reportedly produced by his staff—raise questions about transparency and the use of synthetic media by public officials, prompting calls for verification and clearer disclosure practices.
