A recent RSIS article highlighted the increase in AI generated disinformation after the 28 March 7.7 magnitude earthquake, filling an information vacuum created by telecom shutdowns. Deepfake videos and clickbait posts misrepresented the scale and location of damage, eroding public trust and potentially exacerbating the challenges of humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. The authors stress that misinformation can delay emergency actions, and fragment coordination, especially in a conflict affected settings like Myanmar. They call for protocols to safeguard information integrity during crises, recommending the adoption of AI detection tools, dedicated counter disinformation projects, and real time regional collaboration, drawing lessons from Ukraine’s crisis communication model.
