Meloni Denounces AI Deepfake of Herself, Warns of Wider Risk

Her post turns a personal attack into a warning about the reach of AI fakes.

Overview

  • Meloni, who posted the AI-made lingerie photo on Facebook on Tuesday, included a repost from a user named Roberto who had shared it with a shaming caption.
  • She joked the altered image “improved me a lot,” while saying attackers now use anything to spread lies.
  • She warned that deepfakes can trick viewers and target anyone and urged people to verify content before sharing it.
  • It was not clear whether she would file a new police report, though many commenters on her page pressed her to do so.
  • The episode follows her 2024 defamation suit over alleged explicit deepfakes and comes as Italy begins to enforce a new AI law aligned with the EU AI Act.
