AI-generated content fuels misinformation after Air India crash
Days after the crash of an Air India Boeing 787 plane in Ahmedabad, killing 275 people, a preliminary investigation report was found circulating in aviation circles. The report, except for the emoji, appeared genuine with various aviation terminologies, giving it a professional look. However, a closer scrutiny by trained eyes would eventually reveal that it was created by an AI platform using details from a 2024 incident with South American airlines LATAM, giving it a convincing look. By the time the Indian government refuted the report as fake, news websites had already run headlines, clouding the minds of the public, and even that of several pilots. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Expert: "Throw Away Your Adhesive Cream and Use This Instead! Dentalcare Guide Undo With the June 12 Air India crash stirring public uproar amid scarce post-accident updates, a wave of false information, including pictures and videos created by generative AI, has swarmed the internet. 'We've observed a disturbing pattern in how bad actors are leveraging AI and social media platforms to spread misinformation and commit fraud during sensitive events like the Air India Flight 171 crash,' said Amit Relan , co-founder and CEO at digital fraud detection firm mFilterIt. Live Events In addition to fake news about the crash, Relan's firm found instances of fake videos showing the aftermath of the air accident and even a case of a fraudulent fundraising attempt. 'This is a classic case of emotionally-driven financial fraud, often operated from untraceable or unverified sources,' Relan said, advocating for public education to differentiate legitimate from manipulated content and collaboration on threat intelligence between platforms, law enforcement, and tech enablers. As per the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) module, it is essential to communicate effectively with the media to ensure the accuracy of information provided and maintain public trust in the aviation industry and accident investigation authorities. 'A well-planned and executed communication strategy can go a long way in minimising negative publicity and ensuring that the facts are reported in a timely and accurate manner,' it says. India's civil aviation ministry last week said the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has successfully extracted data from the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder (FDR) of the aircraft. Both the CVR and the FDR were moved to AAIB's lab in New Delhi only on 24 June, more than a week after they were recovered from the crash site in Ahmedabad. The ministry did not give any reason for the delay. John Cox, a former airline pilot and chief executive of Safety Operating Systems, a provider of consulting services on accident investigations, said with the growing prevalence of GenAI, there needs to be a paradigm shift for providing information by India's AAIB after an event like a crash. 'This is the most extensive case of misinformation that has been seen during any accident. The AAIB should be having daily briefings as done by agencies across the globe. Because in the absence of information, it is misinformation which fills the void,' Cox said. BOOM, a fact-checking platform found images of aircraft with its tail on blaze or even an AI generated image of a wreckage in front of the Ahmedabad airport, which was also created by AI. BOOM used AI image detectors, with all indicating a high likelihood of them being AI-generated. However, none of the posts contained a disclaimer indicating the synthetic nature of the images. Mishi Choudhary, an online civil rights activist and founder of Software Freedom Law Centre suggests multi-pronged solutions including educating users and using better tools. 'Each new disaster now presents new opportunities for disinformation peddlers to muddy the waters and use heightened emotional vulnerability to exploit. This is not a problem that can be solved by enacting new laws,' she said. 'Platforms need to take responsibility by investing more to tackle misinformation in different languages, and be better prepared around such events."

Without meaningful benchmarks, data is just brands pour resources into metros but miss the fastest-growing markets, where logistics are more complex and costs higher. The question is: are we equipped to serve these new markets effectively, or are we assuming our metro-based strategies will work everywhere?Without region-specific benchmarks, high return rates and inefficient deliveries in these areas can eat into profitability. Data overload without actionable insight leads to decision paralysis - too many numbers, too little answer isn't more data but using it more effectively. We need to shift from data collection to insight-driven benchmarking - translating complex datasets into clear, comparative metrics.
