A dramatic video allegedly showing the Eiffel Tower burning after an attack by student protesters has sparked confusion online, with some social media users questioning whether the footage is real or AI-generated. The viral claim suggests that 'mostly peaceful' demonstrators destroyed one of France's most recognisable landmarks.
However, the footage remains unverified, and there is no credible evidence that the Eiffel Tower has been burned down. The controversy comes amid growing concerns over artificial intelligence being used to spread convincing but misleading images of major world events.
