SVT Removes Animal Videos Over Suspected AI Manipulation

Local SVT newsrooms have removed animal videos from their websites amid suspicions that they were manipulated using AI.

SVT Skåne published a video of what was alleged to be a lynx outside Ystad, SVT Västmanland a video of an otter in Västerås, and SVT Gävleborg a video of a wolverine in Gävle.

After the editorial teams contacted each other, the clips were taken down. All the emails containing the alleged animal videos appear to have come from the same person, but it is unclear whether that person was also behind the clips, according to SVT Skåne editor-in-chief Göran Eklund.

It was good that we at SVT discovered this ourselves. It's a new world out there now. We need to learn from this, of course, he tells Omni.
