The Perils of AI-Generated Content: Fake Emirates Plane Crash Video Sparks Concerns and Calls for Social Media Regulation

A video claiming to show an Emirates plane crash has raised worries about the use of AI to create fake content. The airline has clarified that the video is not real and is circulating online. Even though fake crash videos are not uncommon, this particular one was realistic enough to cause concern and prompt Emirates to release a statement addressing the issue.

Social media platforms were slow to respond to a fake video depicting an Emirates crash. Emirates acknowledged the video and clarified that it was fake. The airline tried to get social media platforms to remove the video or label it as fake to prevent the spread of false information. However, the platforms did not respond quickly enough, so Emirates had to issue an official statement to set the record straight.

Emirates highlighted the importance of safety in their brand and operations, taking such matters very seriously. They encouraged everyone to verify information from official sources.

Emirates has acknowledged the existence of a video on social media showing a plane crash involving one of their aircraft. They have stated that the video is fake and not based on any real incident. Emirates is currently working with social media platforms to have the video removed or labeled as digitally manipulated to prevent any misinformation from spreading.

The airline did not specify which social media platform was involved or mention any details about the video or aircraft in their statement. After looking into it, it was found that there are multiple videos on TikTok that show simulated plane crashes of Emirates Airbus A380 and Boeing B777.

Despite TikTok having safety measures in place to protect users and combat AI-generated content threats, many of the crash videos on the platform do not include any warnings.

On TikTok, creators can choose to indicate if a video was created using artificial intelligence. Sometimes, the system automatically identifies and labels videos as AI-generated.

Judging by appearances, distinguishing between AI-generated videos and real ones is a difficult task. The internet is filled with deepfake videos, and the concerning thing is that AI technology is constantly improving, making these fake videos more realistic. This raises the possibility of them being used for harmful purposes.

The risks of AI-generated content and the absence of monitoring are concerning. Referring to the situation in the Emirates, the issue is how can we prompt social media platforms to respond promptly to address AI-generated false information before it leads to fear, social disorder, and jeopardizes public safety.

Malaysia has recently implemented new regulations for social media and instant messaging platforms to promote online safety and responsibility in addressing issues like scams, sexual crimes against children, and other harmful content. However, unlike Indonesia, Malaysia does not specify a timeframe for platforms to remove harmful content once reported. In Indonesia, digital license holders must respond to urgent takedown requests within 4 hours.

Only two out of the 8 platforms have the necessary license at this point, with Google and X still needing to apply for theirs.

We have covered extensively how certain platforms are known for allowing scammers to post fraudulent ads without taking immediate action to remove them. If a company that earns billions in revenue from advertising fails to even conduct basic checks on advertisers, how can we trust them to identify and eliminate harmful AI-generated content?
