Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni says AI-generated deepfake images of her are circulating online and warns they can mislead the public. Multiple outlets report that Meloni posted on Facebook, criticizing the spread of “fake images” created with artificial intelligence and presented as real by political opponents. She references a widely shared image showing her posing on a bed in underwear, which she said was generated through digital fakery rather than reflecting an actual photo. Meloni frames the activity as a political attack aimed at undermining her, while also cautioning that such images could deceive people—particularly those who may not be able to verify whether content is authentic. Sources also note that her post includes a humorous remark suggesting that, in the specific case of the attached image, the creator “improved” her. Overall, the reporting focuses on her response to the viral circulation of the deepfake content and her broader call for users to be cautious about sharing potentially falsified material.
