Several Facebook pages have published several different videos: all fake and fabricated through Artificial Intelligence. In these videos, it is falsely claimed that expatriates have spoken to the media that they will come to Kosovo and vote for Albin Kurti in the elections scheduled for 28.12.2025, or speaking against other opposition parties. Krypometer has analyzed the materials in question and has noticed that there are signs of the use of Artificial Intelligence. The Hive Moderation Platform and Wasitai have determined that the content was generated with Artificial Intelligence. The videos were published at a time when the President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, announced the extraordinary elections expected to be held on 28.12.2025.
Article
On 24.11.2025, the Facebook page Peja LIVE (archive) published several videos, which allegedly contain statements by expatriates about their participation in the early elections expected to be held on 28.12.2025.
In the first video (archive and [archive](https://web.archive.org/web/20251125111659/https:/video-lga3-3.xx.fbcdn.net/o1/v/t2/f2/m412/AQMsdgdzMN5BDbtYFqMOBW2Kt__oosaIMAtGJjj9W2MgoO255GLrGvK8EGXVoQbpcsPN oNTgr_AenTyKfedFyd0LUoXP2LBmybXpoVfk6A.mp4?_nc_cat=108&_nc_sid=8bf8fe&_nc_ht=video-lg a3-3.xx.fbcdn.net&_nc_ohc=jEGT_OK9UzYQ7kNvwEudqHX&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6Inhwdl9wcm9 ncmVzc2l2ZS5GQUNFQk9PSy4uQzMuMzYwLnN2ZV9zZCIsInhwdl9hc3NldF9pZCI6ODY5Njc4MDE4OTczMDU 0LCJhc3NldF9hZ2VfZGF5cyI6MSwidmlfdXNlY2FzZV9pZCI6MTAxMjIsImR1cmF0aW9uX3MiOjEwLCJ1cmxn ZW5fc291cmNlIjoid3d3In0%3D&ccb=17-1&_nc_gid=AkY_AtCMzAQ4UEtMh0ulnA&_nc_zt=28&oh=00_AfiP9_qn2Ts3DEEvvy0z_kV6ukDtE7oRLGhz9gamb5D9cQ&oe=692B541E&bitrate=186466&tag=sve_sd&)) it is alleged that when an expatriate was asked if she would come to Kosovo to vote in December, she replied "Yes, I will definitely come. I will vote for the best person who has worked for this country, this country would not have developed without Albin Kurti, the only one who deserves the vote of the diaspora".

I didn't come to waste my vacation, only if you want me to waste my vote on their projects, no thanks".
Similar content was also published by another page Specbuk (archive and (archive) 8vRGr3JK_ivxBYrEf4odH6TNyFBxuWYklVIjmgQ.mp4?_nc_cat=103&_nc_sid=8bf8fe&_nc_ht=video-i ad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net&_nc_ohc=KZ73O-Vg0DsQ7kNvwHFqXqz&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6Inhwdl9wcm 9ncmVzc2l2ZS5GQUNFQk9PSy4uQzMuMzYwLnN2ZV9zZCIsInhwdl9hc3NldF9pZCI6MTU0Mzg3Njk4MDA4NT E3OCwiYXNzZXRfYWdlX2RheXMiOjEsInZpX3VzZWNhc2VfaWQiOjEwMTIyLCJkdXJhdGlvbl9zIjoxNSwidXJ sZ2VuX3NvdXJjZSI6Ind3dyJ9&ccb=17-1&_nc_gid=lhzUlmpuulhjFSFBcrw8qA&_nc_zt=28&oh=00_AfjxOu7OZNDgixZprVBxIVxURN2D_7Vp9XMJVNmwjWFJAw&oe=692B83DB&bitrate=271234&tag=sve_sd&)). In this video, it is claimed that another immigrant said: "It's normal that we would come with our whole family to vote for Albin Baba, the best. He is the smartest person who should be the prime minister of Kosovo. Ishalla wins 600 thousand votes and we are starting 2026 well".
Krypometer has analyzed the materials in question and has noticed that there are signs of the use of Artificial Intelligence.
To verify this, Krypometer, through the Hive Moderation mechanism, a platform that detects the use of Artificial Intelligence in text, images or videos, has analyzed the contents and has confirmed that both the first video and the second were generated with AI.
Furthermore, Krypometer has also used the WasitAi platform, a mechanism that serves to detect whether images have been generated by artificial intelligence. According to the results of the platform, there is a high probability that both images (image 1 and image 2, image 3, image 4) to have been generated by artificial intelligence.
Fake videos on the eve of elections
This video was published at a time when extraordinary elections have been announced and political debates have already begun between political parties that will compete in parliamentary elections.
The President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, has dissolved the Assembly of Kosovo (on 20.11.2025), after the Assembly of Kosovo has failed to elect a government even though the Parliamentary elections were held on 09.02.2025. The President has announced December 28, 2025 as the date for holding extraordinary parliamentary elections.
The country is heading for new elections without a new budget for 2026, without resolving the budget issues of Radio Television of Kosovo (RTK) and three municipalities, and without approving the agreements that would allow Kosovo to receive donations in the millions from the EU and the World Bank.
Most of 2025 was spent in efforts to constitute the Assembly and in election campaigns, rather than in the development of regular institutional affairs.
The legislature that emerged from the Parliamentary elections on 09.02.2025 has not managed to elect a new Government due to the lack of political consensus.
This legislature was initially faced with a lack of clarity regarding the election of the Speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo.
Due to different interpretations by political parties, the issue of the mandate holder and the election of the Speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo had gone several times to the Constitutional Court.
Only after several interpretations of the Constitution, the deputies of the Assembly of Kosovo managed to elect Dimal Basha, Speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo.
Basha's election paved the way for the election of the government.
The first mandate of the Vetëvendosje Movement, Albin Kurti, did not receive enough votes to be elected prime minister for a third time.
Since the second candidate of the Vetevendosje Movement failed to secure the necessary votes to form the government, the President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, has dissolved the Parliament and announced 28.12.2025 as the date for holding extraordinary parliamentary elections.
In the Parliamentary elections held on 09.02.2025, the Vetevendosje Movement had the largest number of MPs, or 48 MPs. It was followed by PDK with 24 MPs, LDK with 20, AAK had 5 MPs, Social Democratic Initiative 3 MPs. The Serbian List has nine of the ten seats guaranteed for the Serbian minority, Nenad Rašić's party has one, and ten other seats have been won by representatives of other minorities.
Incident 1516: Purportedly AI-Generated Airport Videos Reportedly Showed Diaspora Voters Opposing Albin Kurti
“Weekly Review: Exit Polls and Fake Polls and AI Videos for Elections”
During the period 22--27 December 2025, media and social networks in Kosovo faced a significant intensification of misinformation, where fake news and distortion of facts took a central role, especially in content related to the early parliamentary elections.
During this period, fake news was mainly spread on Facebook, through unofficial pages and accounts such as "Luftari Spartak", "Podujeva Sot", "Çelësi i Suksesit", "Prishtina Online", "Shadervani" and "Gazeta Premium". Thematically, the misinformation focused on the parliamentary elections, including false claims of political support from
Incident 1510: Meta AI Support Bot Reportedly Enabled Takeovers of High-Profile Instagram Accounts
“Hackers Simply Asked Meta AI to Give Them Access to High-Profile Instagram Accounts. It Worked”
Hackers say that they used Meta's AI support chatbot to break into a host of high-profile Instagram profiles by asking the support bot to change the email address associated with the target account. The claims coincide with a series of high-profile Instagram account takeovers, including the Barack Obama White House account, the Chief Master Sergeant of Space Force's account, and Sephora's account.

“‘Odd choices of words’: How an academic’s AI use was exposed by her peers”
AIID editor's note: The original source embeds the the retracted article in question. It is also located here.
When a professor specialising in academic integrity wrote an opinion piece that defended universities against claims that artificial intelligence had downgraded the value of their qualifications, academic WhatsApp groups lit up.
Most academics are familiar with the language patterns generated by AI tools from marking student essays in the age of Claude and ChatGPT. "I knew as soon
Incident 1508: Italian Mediaset Journalist Safiria Leccese's Image Was Reportedly Used in a Purportedly AI-Generated Fake Loan Scam
“"We're all in a lot of trouble, us and our children. They stole my image with AI to ask for money, and many people fell for the scam." Safiria Leccese reports.”
Safiria Leccese is still struggling to accept that she's been caught in a scam. One of Mediaset's most popular female personalities appeared in a video shared online, offering an "easy" personal loan from her studio on Super Partes—the political analysis program on Canale 5 and Retequattro. One video was blocked, while another later appeared on her official social media, explaining the scam. Safiria explained that it wasn't her speaking, but an image of her created by artificial intelligence, and that she felt deeply hurt because so many people had already fallen for the deception created using technology. "We're all in a world of trouble, us and our children," she confessed to the weekly magazine Nuovo. "If politicians and multinationals don't take action, we need to make a digital ID mandatory to open any type of account, forcing people to declare their true identity. This would protect the very young, many adults, and the most vulnerable groups."
The journalist explained to the Cairo Editore weekly that she was able to uncover it thanks to a tip from a parliamentarian who is a frequent guest on the program. By following Super Partes's account, the internet automatically showed him the fake profile. They had stolen both my image and a frame of my broadcast, inventing a profile that falsely belonged to me to ask for money using a very simple system. Unfortunately, within an hour, several people had already fallen for the scam...
She said she felt mortified and immediately contacted the postal police, who immediately put some experts to work on her case. "The absurd thing is that they discovered two other fake profiles that were exploiting my image. They blocked everything, but unfortunately they haven't yet been able to identify the scammers." Now, what worries her most are the numbers surrounding the use of AI. "According to some research, almost half of young people between the ages of 15 and 19 use it as an emotional counselor. Let's not forget that some people have taken their own lives because they were advised to do so in a chat. There are remedies for money scams, but not for those that affect the lives of our children." It's no coincidence that at Super Partes "we often talk about young people's use of social media and artificial intelligence, and about proposed laws regarding both age restrictions and related software. And then there's the international situation and US President Donald Trump."
