POLAND, JUL 14 – Researchers say AI-generated fake Holocaust photos on Facebook exploit emotional responses and generate income through content monetization, raising concerns of historical distortion.
- At the Auschwitz-Birkenau site, museum officials observed AI-generated Holocaust content in May, with Pawel Sawicki stating the posts are fabricated victim stories.

- Pawel Sawicki warned `we’re dealing with the creation of a false reality`, adding concerns about falsifying images and history, AFP reported.
