"A video about alleged NABU searches at the home of the former head of the Defense Procurement Agency is circulating online. It deliberately shows boxes of money and a provocative caption. This video is fake and was created using AI," the NABU said in a post.
The bureau emphasized: "Such materials are vivid evidence of how the latest artificial intelligence tools are increasingly being used by the enemy for information warfare."
"Their main goal is to discredit independent anti-corruption bodies, undermine trust in state institutions, and damage Ukraine's image. We urge people not to share dubious 'sensational stories' and to trust only official sources," the NABU said in the post.
