The Iranian regime is using artificial intelligence to generate a false “global narrative” that it is winning the war with the U.S., Bridget Bean, the former acting director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), told Fox News Friday.<\/p>\n

“They can’t win on the battlefield, so they’re going to try and win through AI and through a global narrative,” Bean said on “The Ingraham Angle.”<\/p>\n

“And their old playbook was very discernible \u2013 funny faces or out-of-time lip sync \u2013 but they’ve gotten very good on some of their AI manipulation. And we’ve seen that.”<\/p>\n

Bean said those scrolling quickly on their phones might not notice that something is off about the regime’s AI-generated content and urged people to be “careful about what’s happening.”<\/p>\n

“Their goal is to weaken our will, our resolve and to really push a narrative that is not true,” she added.<\/p>\n

The New York Post reported Thursday that Iran published AI-altered images of the new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, after reports he is too injured to make a public appearance.<\/p>\n

Shayan Sardarizadeh, a senior journalist at BBC Verify, told the Post photos recently published by Iranian state media and on Khamenei’s X account had been edited using online AI tools.<\/p>\n

Bean said the regime is “taking real pictures, real videos and adding just a touch of AI” so that it “passes the gut test.”<\/p>\n
