event | 13 Apr 2025 | 78%
A purportedly AI-manipulated video widely shared on TikTok and Facebook presents Kenyan President William Ruto speaking in French during a speech in Tokyo on February 7, 2024. A reported reverse image search confirmed the original footage shows Ruto speaking in English to the Kenyan diaspora. The reportedly manipulated version used AI-generated French audio over the original video, making it a case of voice cloning rather than a full audiovisual deepfake.
