US President Donald Trump has sparked widespread backlash after sharing an AI-generated video on Truth Social that depicted former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes. The video was later deleted following strong condemnation from both Republicans and Democrats.
The incident has renewed concerns about the use of artificial intelligence to spread racist content, as well as the responsibilities of political leaders in amplifying such material.
Critics described the post as deeply offensive, while calls grew for clearer accountability around AI misuse and online hate.
