Our verdict

Videos of people giving their views on immigration are AI fakes
Videos supposedly showing members of the public talking about their views on immigration are fake.
The clips, which have been shared on Facebook, appear to show people talking to someone off-screen holding a microphone.
The clips contain a SynthID watermark, indicating that they were made using Google’s AI tools, and there are a number of other visual clues that they are AI-generated.
For example, in one of the clips a bus can be seen driving through a bollard, while in another the back of a bus morphs into the front of a bus part way through the video, and the layout of the street in the background changes.
