Many talked about popes… rappers but photos are ‘fake news’ – How realistic Pope Francis photos look and how artificial intelligence can influence public opinion is now causing intense concern
The 86-year-old Pope Francis he appears in photos wearing a long, white, puffy jacket with the Argentinian national emblem. Social networks are on fire, and they are talking about pontiffs… rappers, and a modern pope. But the photos are not real, they are “fake news”, even though they are absolutely real, as they were created through Artificial Intelligence, with state-of-the-art technologies used in graphics.

How life-like photos of Pope Francis look and how artificial intelligence can potentially influence public opinion are now causing intense concern, with people unable to discern the “fine line” reality and lies. Lately, absolutely true deepfake photos have been flooding social media.
In the past few days, similar fake photos have been released showing Donald Trump being arrested or wearing the orange prisoner’s uniform in the US while Vladimir Putin appeared to appear in court also in a prisoner’s uniform.
