Fact: The video is fake. In his original speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention, Grenell spoke about US President-elect Donald Trump.
Several social media users shared a video (archive) showing Trump’s special missions envoy, Richard Grenell, praising Imran Khan during the 2024 Republican National Convention...
Furthermore, we sent the video for analysis to Dr Hany Farid, a faculty member at the UC Berkeley’s School of Information and Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, whose research focuses on digital forensics and misinformation among other topics. In an emailed response, Dr Farid — who is also a member of the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) Lab — said, “This is a clear — and poorly made — fake. The audio is AI-generated and the video is a poorly made lip-sync deep fake...”
Hany Farid is a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences and the School of Information at UC Berkeley.
