Police probe AI-generated fake photo linked to Pardubice arson case

Police are investigating a fabricated image that shows one of the suspects charged with a terror arson attack in Pardubice alongside priest Tomáš Halík and activist Mikuláš Minář, head of the Million Moments for Democracy movement. The image, created using artificial intelligence, spread on disinformation networks and was also shared by Deputy Education Minister Zdeněk Kettner (SPD), who later deleted the post.

Education Minister Robert Plaga (ANO) has described the matter as very serious, saying that he expects an apology from Kettner.
