MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) on Friday warned the public against artificial intelligence (AI)-generated photos of rescuers, noting that such photos can easily spread during times of emergency and disasters.
In a Facebook advisory, the BFP flagged as “fake news alert” the circulating photos of BFP rescuers posing and dancing in front of a collapsed building.

“The Bureau of Fire Protection is appealing to the public to take precaution on AI-generated photos that may circulate. In times of emergency, information can easily spread but not everything we see of rescue operations are true,” the BFP said in Filipino.
