Summary

A King’s High School in Dunedin, New Zealand, was targeted by an offensive AI-generated image posted on social media on June 9. The image depicted students performing an offensive gesture associated with the far right, accompanied by a caption threatening deportation. Analysis by the school revealed discrepancies such as missing architectural features and a green bin that had not been present for a decade, indicating the image was likely a manipulated photo from over 10 years old. The account posting the image appeared to be associated with the far-right group ‘Remigration New Zealand’.
