The story
Galician digital newspaper Praza Pública has published a report identifying an alleged deepfake video depicting a fabricated incident at kilometer 92 of the AP-9 highway. The article, shared on Bluesky by user trutxo.bsky.social on October 25, 2026, warns that the synthetic media misrepresents a traffic event on the critical Galician transport corridor. Praza Pública characterizes the content as artificial rather than authentic documentation, though no specific creator or platform host is named in the available excerpt. The report highlights growing concerns regarding AI-generated disinformation targeting regional infrastructure and local audiences. Verification efforts are currently underway to determine the video's origin and dissemination scope. This case exemplifies how generative AI tools are increasingly deployed to manufacture hyper-local false narratives.
