A viral claim suggesting artificial intelligence mistakenly pixelated Donald Trump's neck during Japanese television appearances has spread online, but there is no confirmed evidence that AI censorship technology caused the effect.
The rumour gained traction after social media users shared clips claiming automated censorship systems used in Japan had confused Trump's neck with content requiring removal or blurring. The unusual claim sparked widespread jokes and memes, with users alleging AI had failed to distinguish between a person's appearance and material it was designed to censor.
