Here's a commentary from the Peace Research Institute of Oslo that talks about AI and staged photos that human rights organizations (including Amnesty International) have used in the past, which brings up a debate or whether using misinformation can be justified if the intent is to highlight suffering and stir empathy. They talk about AI fakes used in Columbia, Greece, and Gaza.

Social media is the worst though, not just for promoting outright fakes, but also coopting the suffering of others. It's not helpful at all to the people who actually are suffering because you need to really question everything.
