How the BBC investigated disturbing AI videos

How Trending Extreme uncovered AI-generated videos of real-life child murder victims.

In a special edition, we examine what is perhaps one of the WS’s most disturbing and upsetting programmes of late.
Trending Extreme investigated videos in which AI-generated versions of real-life child murder victims tell the stories of how they were killed.
We hear your feedback - including if the episode should have been broadcast at all - and we’re joined by the show’s presenter and producer, Ed Main.

Presenter: Rajan Datar
Producer: Howard Shannon.
