AI firm in Israel uses deepfake rape survivor videos ‘for good’, it claims

An Israel-based AI firm, Generative AI for Good, claims to be using deepfake technologies for positive ends. ‘Positive’ appears to mean creating deepfake videos to help the illegal US-Israel war on Iran.

Like this clip that the company showed recently at an UN event in New York. The film is intended to show women who claim to have been raped by Iranian security forces during the CIA/Mossad-coordinated riots in Iran in January 2026.

Generative AI for Good claims that it uses AI to “help survivors testify safely — in their real voice, without revealing their identity”. But Israel and its mouthpieces have been shown to have used false allegations of rapes and other atrocities on 7 October 2023 to justify its genocide in Gaza.

The claims have been repeatedly exposed as fiction, yet continue to be quoted by politicians and media as grounds for supporting Israel’s crimes.

One of the firm’s handful of employees, ‘creative director’ Tal Harari, still has a post on her Instagram profile repeating those claims of rape and beheaded babies which are complete fiction.

A post shared by Tal Harary (@talharari)

‘AI impact leader’ Mlamdovsky Somech founded the tech company

The post mentions Noa Argamani. Israel has attempted to use Argamani as a poster child for its genocide propaganda, but she has refuted the occupation’s claims of her supposed mistreatment in Gaza. Likewise, she debunked its claims that Palestinians had killed one of her friends, when in fact the IOF killed him.

Harari does not list her military service on her LinkedIn profile though like any Israeli, she will almost certainly have been in the IOF. However, her colleague, marketing manager Noa Rosenberg, speaks on hers.

Rosenberg talks about her pride in leading an event for military veterans and includes in her list of jobs her service in the IOF’s ‘Psychotechnical Headquarter’. No doubt useful in her current company.

The firm’s founder, Shiran Mlamdovsky Somech, doesn’t list her military record either. But she did tell the Jewish Post and News in early 2024 that “Artificial intelligence is a secret weapon of ours” in what the paper described as “using the revolutionary technology to bolster [the military’s] efforts both online and on the ground” in the “information war being waged alongside the military battlefields in Gaza”.

In 2023 — before 7 October — Mlamdovsky Somech also claimed that Jews are pitted against “two billion Muslims”.

We are only 15 million Jews around the world, versus 2 billion Muslims…Our slingshot is technology.

Mlamdovsky Somech made that comment at an event she organised in cooperation with the IOF’s notorious Unit 8200. Unit 8200 is the cyberspy outfit whose operatives mark their headsets for each Palestinian they help kill and which played a key role in the murder of Iran’s leader in its war of aggression.

Nonetheless, just as with Israel’s atrocity propaganda against the Palestinians and its denials of its own atrocities, we’re supposed to believe that its AI videos of ‘Iranian women’ depict reality. That AI is only being used to protect identities and not because, yet again, it’s all made up and Israel is trying to bolster support for its crimes.

If you’re even tempted to believe that, there might be a bridge or two for sale.
