WITNESS

Why does this matter? Our December submission to the @OversightBoard showed how AI-generated content exploits blackouts, overwhelms fact-checkers, and casts doubt on real footage. Meta’s recommendations can now support transparency and accountability. Remember the case: witness.org/witness-submit…

We call on @Meta to implement these recommendations fully and urgently, not as a future roadmap, but as an immediate operational commitment proportional to the scale of harm already documented. 📲Read more: witness.org/meta-oversight…

The @OversightBoard, which reviews Meta’s content moderation, has issued its decision on an AI-generated video claiming to show missile damage in Haifa during the June 2025 Israel-Iran war. The ruling validates WITNESS’s long-standing warnings about deceptive AI. Follow the 🧵

At the report launch, our Executive Director @SamGregory discussed the impact of AI on humanitarian action in an increasingly complex information environment and the need to maintain the ability to know what is real. 📲Read more here: blog.witness.org/2026/03/ifrc-w…

The World Disasters Report 2026, launched by @ifrc, highlights harmful information as a humanitarian crisis threatening aid, trust, and communities, and features WITNESS insights on AI and synthetic content 🧵

In an AI-shaped world, video is still crucial for accountability, but its credibility is under pressure. 🔗Read the full @nytimes article where our Executive Director, @SamGregory, discusses this “deeply contradictory” moment and how we can still show what’s real with video: nytimes.com/2026/02/15/us/…

So what can we do to make sure we get this right? At @witnessorg, we’re calling for: ➡️Pipeline responsibility (not just platform enforcement) ➡️Interoperable provenance standards ➡️Honesty about the limits of automated detection ➡️Meaningful civil society participation 👩🏽‍💻Read our full statement at: wit.to/india-ai-summit

“Safe and trusted” AI ≠ Rights-respecting AI 🚨 In India, we see this playing out in real time. In contrast with the country’s official AI rhetoric, the ground reality of AI-generated hate, discrimination, + surveillance against marginalized communities signals a stark gap between what “safe and trusted” AI promises vs. what it is actually delivering.

The first global #AI summit in the Global Majority is currently underway in New Delhi. Here’s what we need to get right 👇🏽 wit.to/india-ai-summit

It's a paradoxical moment: a fog of doubt settles over our AI-slop timelines, yet bystander video in Minneapolis powerfully reaffirms witnessing. I talked to the @nytimes about the world we're in. Defending reality in this world is what @witnessorg does. nytimes.com/2026/02/15/us/…

🛰️ When global tools fall short, African journalists innovate. From preserving fragile protest footage in Nigeria to using drive-through videos & drone footage for verification, community-rooted strategies from @witnessorg & others fill global gaps. 🔗 twp.ai/4itZ6K

Great discussion this week at the Enterprise AI Governance Forum with @PartnershipAI @jpmorgan @Mastercard @OmidyarGroup @witnessorg. A year ago, AI agents were experiments. Today, they're essential to business operations. We need frameworks that can keep up.
