Check images and videos for manipulation

Media companies check whether images and videos are AI-generated or manipulated

Needs setupAI Act: no extra obligationsChecking & moderating contentMedia & communications

Fits: Marketing & communications · Creative & media production · Social media & content

You spot fake, AI-generated or out-of-context images and videos before they end up in the news, a live blog or on social media. Every assessment rests on traceable verification steps instead of gut feeling or a single detector score.

Is this for you?

  • You regularly use material from eyewitnesses, from social networks or from little-known sources.
  • With breaking news, there is often no time for thorough checking.
  • You want verification as a fixed process with a log, not as the individual work of experienced colleagues.
First step today

Take an image that has already been published and whose origin your newsroom has already established, genuine or fake, and use the template below to have it described and a verification plan drawn up. Compare the plan with what your verification team actually did at the time.

How to go about it

  1. Define the newsroom’s verification standard
  2. Secure the material and record where it was found
  3. Set up verification tools for the verification team
  4. Pass contradictory cases to the verification team
  5. Publish, put in context or discard, and give reasons
  6. Adapt the verification routine to new fakes
