A man based in Pakistan was running at least 31 accounts on X that shared AI-generated war videos, according to Nikita Bier, the platform’s head of product development.
In a post on Wednesday, Bier said the accounts had been hacked and renamed on February 27 to variations of “Iran War Monitor.” The network pushed artificial intelligence-created clips tied to the ongoing conflict. “We are getting much faster at detecting this — and also eliminating the incentive to do this,” Bier wrote, adding that the operator was trying to cash in on X’s creator revenue-sharing programme.
